Jefferies hails Elliot
Hearts manager Jim Jefferies singled out Calum Elliot for praise as the Hearts forward, who failed to score at all season, led the way with two goals in a 4-0 victory over Hamilton.
A penalty from Kevin Kyle and a fine strike by David Templeton completed the Hearts scoring in a game which saw both teams reduced to 10 men, Ruben Palazuelos booked twice for Hearts and Martin Canning given a straight red for Hamilton.
Jefferies said: "Calum got one last week against St Johnstone and now he's got two in this game having not scored for the club at all last term.
"He was disappointed by that but to be fair to him he was out with injury a long time last season and coming back from the type of injuries he's had and you're not the sharpest, then you're putting yourself in the firing line to get a bit of criticism.
"I think the fans saw the best of Calum and what he brings because apart from his goals his work-rate was tremendous and that's why I didn't take him off because he's such a willing worker for the team."
