Laszlo relief at first win in six for Hearts

Hearts boss Csaba Laszlo finally recorded a first win in six league games before revealing he is still seeking talks with the Tynecastle board. A late 2-1 Clydesdale Bank Scottish Premier League victory over Kilmarnock was a stark improvement in the Jambos' recent fortunes and afterwards, Laszlo admitted he is keen to look to the future.

He said: "I've made my plan as I think it's very important for the club to know in which direction we will go.

"This not a question for me of money - I know the situation from the club and my person is not important, the important is thing is the club.

"I'll give the board our targets and I hope they accept this; in the transfer window maybe some of our players are very interesting to other people and if this is the case, I have my plan and I know who must be replaced.

"I have never in my life had a problem with owners or directors or boards. I try to bring success to the club.

"We must have a very clear position about what's important for the club, for the players and supporters as you must have satisfied people."

Kilmarnock had dominated attacking play the first half before Eggert Jonsson and Christian Nade netted Hearts' goals in the final quarter, with the hosts' consolation goal coming a minute later from Craig Bryson.

Laszlo called the first 45 minutes "complete s***", and continued: "It was important for us to win this game - it showed that we stay together and we have confidence.

"I care about my players and the club, and today the players definitely gave me something back and I think that relationship is there.

"You have good and bad times in football games, and in the bad times you can recognise who is your friend and who is your enemy."
