Ian Cathro can count Chris Sutton out from his media critics.
While Kris Boyd sneers at a coach with a laptop and others questioned his credentials the BT Sport pundit was all for giving the new kid on the block a chance.
Mark Warburton never got within a sniff of a job at Valencia and Newcastle United.
At the age of 29 the Londoner was going for promotion as a senior photocopier while Cathro was picking up priceless experience in the real world of football coaching.
.@btsportfootball Well done to Ian Cathro! Brilliant performance?? Rangers mauled but Hearts superb on the night??????

With the luxury of spending £250,000 on a back up goalkeeper Warbo took his side to Tynecastle promising to have learned lessons from the 2-0 defeat in Robbie Neilson’s farewell match at the end of November. Sevco lost 2-0.
It’s unclear what lessons the magic hat learned from that experience as tonight his team from the small pond lost 4-1 to Hearts.
With Celtic beating Aberdeen Warbo lost the chance to put some daylight between the tribute act and Derek McInnes’ side.
Having lost five times in 23 matches and trailing Celtic by 25 points Warbo will be pleased to know that Dave King is thousands of miles away and not jetting in for an emergency board meeting.
