Craig Beattie has promised Hearts fans that there’s more goals to come.
The former Celtic striker scored his second goal of his Tynecastle career yesterday against Hibs as he helped his new side to a 2-0 win.
Once again the Hearts players went into the match without having been paid their wages but found the desire to overcome their city rivals.
“I think everybody saw that the Hearts players were 100 per cent committed and guys were throwing their body on the line for the team,” Beattie stated.
“When you wake up in the morning of a derby game you forget about the lot of it and you do what you have to do to get the job done – whether you are the richest man in the world or the poorest, and whether you have been paid or not.
“Come game-time I can assure the supporters and everybody else involved that there is no weakness or mental distraction to the Hearts players preparing for games.
“I don’t want to sound arrogant but if I get games I will score goals. There is much more to come from me and I do not see why not?
“I am working on my fitness and getting back to peak and once I reach that I don’t think there will be any problems finding the net.”
Beattie looked poised to make the breakthrough at Celtic when he was given his chance under Gordon Strachan when he scored seven goals in the first three months of the season before being struck down by injury.
Persistent hamstring and groin problems have restricted his career although he did manage 23 appearances at Swansea last season as they clinched promotion to the Premiership.
