Easy choices.

Look, I'm not saying they're not taking Hamilton incredibly seriously, but this is a good game for Hearts to do some squad rotation.

I get the need to manage her return but Hunter on the bench, after what we saw in last week's encounter, is absolute madness to me.

This might be the worst game of football I've ever been to. And I went to a league one match without a single shot on goal.

The Scotland National Team announced June friendlies for the men way back in January but no fixtures announced for the women with less than a month to go before the international window.

Inequality takes many forms, this is one of them.

And they wonder why attendances aren't growing...

In Glasgow for the Scotland match today (will catch up on the Hearts game via YouTube, bare with me) so of course I'm going to go watch Glasgow City v Partick Thistle first.

A nice North Glasgow derby to start the day.

Bayley Hutchinson, Eilidh Shore, and Monica Forsyth all make the latest Scotland U23 squad. Hearts are the joint most-represented club alongside Rangers & Hibernian. #HMFC

Jenna Slattery is posting some impressive figures as a super sub for Heart of Midlothian this season. She's averaging a goal every 63 minutes and a goal or assist every 50.25 minutes.

Lots for Hearts fans to be excited about with the 20-year-old Irish midfielder. #HMFC

Been rewatching the Newcastle United women's game and I'm sorry to say this but I just don't think Becky Langley is a very good coach. Just look at the difference between Langley and Merricks, when Birmingham already 4-1 up. No tactics, no leadership. She is failing #NUFC

Huge game for Hearts today. They have never beaten Glasgow City. A win (or even a draw) today would be a huge statement! #HMFC

You can watch the game live via BBC Sports website or iPlayer.

England have now announced their "European Champions homecoming series" with some great looking games across the North, the Midlands, the South, and one at Wembley.

Meanwhile, here's what the Scottish FA currently have lined up for the rest of the year... 😕

Emma Thomson's loan to Motherwell has been officially ended as Carolina Vilão's injury issue persists. Was officially announced by Motherwell just now but Emma was already back in the Hearts squad and sat on the bench for Sunday's win over Hibernian. #HMFC

BBC ALBA has stepped up to show the home UEFA Europa Cup qualifiers for the two Scottish teams. They have Glasgow City v Athlone Town tonight and Hibernian v Inter Milan next Wednesday. Scottish coefficient fans unite!

Brodie Greenwood has left Hearts. A shame but she's only had 54 minutes so far this season and had less than 300 last season before being shipped off to Motherwell. Clearly not in Olid's plans but still just 19, so it's important for her own development that she go and play regular football. #HMFC

Now that the Scotland national team's men's fixtures are done let's turn our attention to the women. Next women's international window starts on October 20th. One of only two windows for Melissa Andreatta before World Cup qualifying begins. Here's who the women currently have lined up to play...

The Capital Cup van feels like one of those things we'll tell our grandkids about and they'll think we're mad.

Ypema dropped to the bench. I'm not sad about it. Absolute liability. #HMFC

Enjoying this while it lasts 😎

Thrilled I managed to get hold of this kit. Good to add the family hometown to the collection.

Well it's about damn time.

Hearts preseason team selection looks very much like the team you'd expect to see when the season starts. Standard 3-4-3, Forsyth taking the vacant Lisa Robertson position in CM, Eilidh Shore promoted to captain. #Hearts #HMFC

I mean, just look at him. Best mascot in the world.

Lauren Wade and Joely Andrews both start for Northern Ireland in their big Nations League game. The Hearts pair only need a draw to secure a promotion play-off.
June 3, 2025 at 4:47 PM
Four Hearts players in the Scotland U23 squad for today's friendly against Iceland. Eilidh Shore starts.

(One Toon player on the bench as well. So much interest for me in the second half).

Not surprising really but the first Melissa Andreatta Scotland squad looks very similar to the last Mick McArdle Scotland squad. The inclusion of Kathleen McGovern is a pleasant surprise though.
