A huge amount of uncertainty hovers above Tynecastle currently. There has been the SPFL resolution which has prompted Hearts chairman Ann Budge to speak out against the governing body and propose that there should be a temporary league adjustment due to the current climate with no one sure when football will return.
It makes preparing for next season difficult with the club unsure which division they will be in and therefore there is a knock-on effect with regards to recruitment. Free transfers will, as always be key.
