Hearts head coach Robbie Neilson is heavily tipped to become the new manager of English league one side MK Dons, after holding talks with them last night.
Hamilton player-manager Martin Canning says he understands the interest in the Hearts boss.
"He's done a great job at Hearts over the last couple of years and if that generates interest from elsewhere then that's part of the game," said Canning.
"If someone else is offering him something different that he wants to have a look at, then I would say he's within his rights to go and do that.
"I don't know what Robbie is thinking, I haven't spoken to him, but if he gets that opportunity and he thinks it's the right opportunity for do him then that's football."
