Rix wants fans to rock Tynecastle for first home game

HEARTS head coach Graham Rix is anticipating a “rip-roaring atmosphere” at Tynecastle for his first home game in charge of the Jambos against Livingston in the Bank of Scotland Premier League.

The former Portsmouth and Oxford manager took over from George Burley just after the Gorgie men had beaten Dundee United at home last month and since then he has guided his new charges to draws at Aberdeen and Motherwell.

Tynecastle is heading for a sell-out for the visit of the Lions and Rix has been encouraged by the vibes from the Hearts fans he has met this week.
