Neil Critchley looks set to be named as the new Hearts manager. The former Queen’s Park Rangers and Blackpool boss is in advanced talks with the Tynecastle hierarchy and is expected in the capital on Monday. Critchley is expected to bring in his own backroom team, which is likely to include his long-term assistants Mike Garrity and Iain Brunskill.
