A director of Heart of Midlothian FC has said "a solution will be found" for the crisis hit club.
Sergejus Fedotovas flew into Edinburgh on Thursday morning to start talks on how to save the Tynecastle team.
Speaking exclusively to STV as he arrived at the stadium, he said they club would not go into administration.
Mr Fedotovas said: "I don’t believe that this is the end of Hearts. I am confident a solution will be found."
He also suggested that Scottish football as a whole had problems rather than just Hearts.
Representatives from the club's Supporter's Trust are meeting with Mr Fedotovas on Thursday evening.
It comes after HM Revenue and Customs lodged a winding up order against the club over an unpaid £450,000 tax bill.
The tax authority presented a petition to the Court of Session in Edinburgh to place the SPL club owned by Vladimir Romanov into liquidation earlier this month.
It is understood that the Tynecastle club is facing the action from HMRC over unpaid PAYE and National Insurance dating back several months, which is separate from their ongoing troubles with the tax authority.
Although the club said they were trying to sort out a payment plan with HMRC for the outstanding money, they later issued a plea to fans for help. Urging them to invest in the recently launched share scheme and buy tickets for three key upcoming games, they said we "could be entering the final days of the club's existence".
The latest dispute with the tax authority comes as Hearts are challenging a £1.75m bill at the First Tier Tax Tribunal relating to players loaned to the club by Lithuanian club FBK Kaunas, which is also owned by Mr Romanov.
Hearts recently launched a fans’ share issue for a 10% stake in the club, which the board denies would be used to raise around £1.79m in order to pay off its tax debt.
They are now urging fans to opt into the share scheme and buy tickets for three key upcoming games to help the club pay its tax bill.
Dany Brunton, a young coach with Hearts, has told fans he is donating his November wages to the club and urging supporters to "dig deep" to help their team.
