As we enter the month of April, we'll know in a couple of weeks if the players and staff at Hearts are considered foolish or fully supported by fans as we look to cement our place in the Premiership top six and reach the Scottish Cup final. Following the 3-0 defeat at leaders Celtic, optimism has taken a slight hit for some Jambos and I can see why. Head Coach Neil Critchley's 'big game' record is often brought up in the wake of a defeat, and it's true he has failed to beat Celtic, Rangers, Aberdeen or Hibs in his time in charge. ...

Did you know?
Ancient mariners noted that all the stars in the heavens seemed to revolve around a particular star, and they relied on that star to guide their navigation. The constellation that this bright star appears in is known to English speakers today as Ursa Minor, or the Little Dipper, but the Ancient Greeks called it Kynósoura, a term that comes from a phrase meaning "dog's tail." Kynósoura passed into Latin and Middle French, becoming cynosure. When English speakers adopted the term in the 16th century, they used it as a name for both the constellation and the star (which is also known as the North Star or Polaris) and also to identify a guide of any kind. By the 17th century, cynosure was also being used figuratively for anything or anyone that, like the North Star, is the focus of attention or observation.
