Josh McPake is the man of the moment in the William Hill Premiership after his spectacular strike secured a memorable 3-1 win for the Jambos at Easter Road.

He is being talked about as a possible call-up for Scotland and, for now, he reflected on being part of the victorious Hearts squad against Hibs.

Easter Road was packed on the night and ex-St Johnstone forward, McPake, who started his career at Rangers, told Hearts TV: “It was a brilliant atmosphere and the travelling fans did really well.

“I got an assist in the first half but I really wanted a goal and I am ecstatic about it. It could not have gone better for me.”

Hearts’ head coach, Wouter Vrancken (pictured by Nigel Duncan) has told McPake that, going forward, he has freedom, and he said: “He has helped bring me on.”

Overall he said: “The fans were brilliant, so were the players, management and staff, and I will enjoy that one.”
