Hearts stopper Marian Kello no longer has the patience to go back to bench-warming with contract fast running out
The Slovakian signed a one-year agreement with Hearts last summer having spent last season on loan from the Lithuanian club FBK Kaunas. After an inactive start to the campaign he replaced the injured Janos Balogh in early December and has not looked back since, performing with an authority that helped underpin the team's recent league revival.
After another impressive display against Aberdeen last weekend, it is reasonable to assume Kello is the favoured choice of his manager, Csaba Laszlo. But perhaps only for the moment. A constant of the Hungarian's 18-month reign has been the fact that no goalkeeper – Balogh, Kello or Jamie MacDonald – has been able to exclusively lay claim to the title of Hearts' No.1.
