    BBC Scotland

    "Ian Cathro's first 90 minutes as Hearts head coach must have had his mind wandering towards next month's transfer window.

    "The club has made giant progress in the last couple of years but that momentum must be maintained and the playing squad needs strengthened."

  7. Kennedy says Rodgers 'ticks all the boxes'published at 16:48 Greenwich Mean Time 12 December 2016

    John Kennedy will delay becoming a head coach until he has learned more from Celtic's "ideal manager" Brendan Rodgers. 

    "You always learn from everyone, when I have been on my travels, doing club visits, speaking with managers and working with different people," said the 33-year-old former defender, who was kept on the coaching staff when Rodgers replaced Ronny Deila.

    "You take different things from different people but in terms of the rounded manager, the ideal manager, so far, from the ones I have come across, he is it. He has the full package. You get some managers who are very skilled in man management, you get some managers who tend to be more coaches - Brendan ticks all the boxes. 

    "I didn't know where I was going to be (in the summer) but Brendan gave me a great opportunity and I couldn't pass up the chance to work with a man of his calibre. 

    "It would have been easy for me to go out and rush into something but I just feel that having the opportunity to work with a top-class coach and manager will prepare me even better for when the times comes for me to go and make that step. When that is... we will see."
