From Gary Mackay's Evening News column:

Just like myself, Craig has never won a major honour in football and I think that will be a factor in Ann's thinking. I suspect her desire to see Craig succeed at Hearts is tainting her view on the job he is actually doing. Last season, getting to the Scottish Cup final and giving himself a chance of glory effectively bought him some time in a period when the league form was dropping off a cliff, and I feel the prospect of Craig winning the Betfred Cup will now be in her thinking. With that in mind, I think he’ll get, at the very least, to lead the team in the quarter-final against Aberdeen.
