Joe Savage is a man with a passion for history but it’s the future he is planning to change.
For the uninitiated, Savage is sporting director at Hearts and has presided over the Edinburgh club’s startling transformation that sees them sit third in the Scottish Premier League with a Scottish Cup final to come and European football already secured.
Breaking the 'Old Firm' stranglehold is the goal and their current trajectory suggests they are at least on course. It's certainly a far cry from fan protests that blighted the club a year ago amid demands for chairman Ann Budge to quit.
