Hearts boss Wouter Vrancken plans Belgian break before demanding training return

Vrancken prepares Hearts for intensive work

Hearts head coach Wouter Vrancken is set to spend a break in his native Belgium before returning to Scotland and beginning a demanding training period with his team.

The pause will be followed by rigorous work as Vrancken continues to shape Hearts and prepare the squad for the challenges ahead.

Elsewhere, Scotland captain Andy Robertson said Celtic “meant everything” to him, but believes being released by the club was ultimately the best thing that could have happened to his career.
