Frail fears for Hearts future

Hearts assistant coach Stephen Frail admits he fears for his future after the Edinburgh club's recent poor run.
The Jambos have slipped to eighth place in the SPL table on the back of two successive league defeats.
But the manner of the 3-1 loss at the hands of Kilmarnock - during which Frail was sent to the stands by the referee - has left the club's number two looking over his shoulder.
Hearts majority shareholder Vladimir Romanov has sacked three managers during his two years at Tynecastle.
"I fear for my position because of the results and justifiably so, but I don't want people feeling sorry for me," he said.
"I think you always do and, when you go on a run of losing a few games, it all seems to be magnified that little bit here.
"But I don't think that's just here. I think that's at any club.
"My concern is the team and I'm responsible as much as anyone for whatever happened on Saturday.
"I firmly believe we can bounce back. I keep saying we have good players and I firmly believe that."
