It won't be easy for the Jambos but the interim boss is confident his team are up to it
Liam Fox insists he can deliver on the Euro stage for Hearts after making the giant leap from Lowland League to Conference League in just 10 days.
The 40-year-old was in charge of the Hearts B team in the Lowland League before stepping up as interim boss after Steven Naismith’s sacking ahead of Saturday’s draw with Ross County. And he said: “It's a fair jump. But as I've said, I'm just really enjoying this experience. It's a privilege to be here.
“We're going to enjoy this, but the best way of enjoying it is putting on a performance. You put on a performance, you get your best chance of taking three points. Are we going to miss the supporters? Absolutely. Because of what they bring in, the energy they bring in. They're a big, big miss to us, we're aware of that. It's a situation, and it's just another challenge for us to overcome.
The champions of Belarus have only lost one of their 20 league games but, as a pot six side, are the weakest of the six clubs Hearts will face in the league phase of the competition. Fox said: “They're a good side. They're in really good form. They've got some really good individual players, they've got some good speed, they've got some good size.
