Csaba Laszlo claims Hearts are the best in the country at nurturing young talent. Andy Driver's inclusion in England's squad for the European Under-21 Championships is the latest indication of emerging talent from the Edinburgh club.
"I am very proud of Driver," said Laszlo. "I think Hearts is the only team in Scotland who has produced a player for the England Under-21 team for some time.
"He was brought through and he grew with Heart of Midlothian and is now a with the England Under-21 squad. I think this is a big thing for Scottish football. Not so many teams in this country can say they have the facilities and the academy to grow players for the English national team.
"In this direction Hearts is number one in Scotland."
