Brendan Rodgers return and full acceptance from the Celtic support took a massive step closer today at Tynecastle.
While the vast majority of fans thawed in their opposition to his return as manager when they viewed the alternatives there was still a stubborn number that refused to budge.
Some stodgy early performances gave their view that you should never go back some credibility, the goal-less performances against Kilmarnock and St Johnstone came as an underwhelming transfer window came to a close.

The Glasgow Derby on September 3 proved pivotal to both managers, one was sacked a few weeks later with the other serenaded by the Celtic support for the first time after today’s win over Hearts.
Rescuing a young fan from the Police away to Livingston and turning up at St Roch’s last Sunday alongside a seven point lead in the SPFL appears to have done the trick.
With that obstacle cleared there is the significant obstacle of Atletico Madrid to be faced on Wednesday night, if Rodgers can come up with a win against the Spanish giants it will be near impossible to find a dissenter among the Celtic support.
