Tottenham skipper Dawson expects hostile Hearts atmosphere

Tottenham skipper Michael Dawson is expecting a hostile atmosphere at Europa League opponents Hearts.

Tottenham went 3-0 down in the opening half hour of the first leg of last year's Champions League play-off against Young Boys Berne before rallying to take the tie 6-3.

Dawson admits that was a nerve-wracking experience and does not want a repeat against Hearts.

"It's going to be hostile and we have to be ready tomorrow," Dawson said.

"We went to Young Boys a year ago and the first half an hour was a disaster.

"We have to go out there all guns blazing because they certainly will be and we will have to be ready."
