The dinner that helped secure exciting Hearts star’s future amid Rangers and Celtic ‘interest’ revealed
He is a man in form for Hearts, and his retention in Gorgie was largely dependent on a meeting with Robbie Neilson and company.
As James Wilson leads Hearts in goals, a crucial bite to eat has been discovered.
The gifted striker is beginning to show promise on the senior stage after garnering a lot of admirers at the youth level. He now has five goals in 15 senior appearances after scoring twice in Sunday’s 2-2 Premiership draw with Ross County.
Before a sales pitch persuaded him that Hearts was the place to be, former sporting director Joe Savage was aware of the reports circulating about the teenager, with Rangers and Celtic reportedly among the teams showing interest. Savage, who is now thrilled with the talent, took the Wilson household out to supper with former manager Robbie Neilson and former assistant Frankie McAvoy at his sides.
“Myself, Robbie Neilson, and Frankie McAvoy took him and his parents out for a meal in Falkirk,” he said to the Warm Up. According to reports, Celtic, Rangers, Liverpool, Manchester United, and Manchester City were all reportedly interested.

Hearts and Hibs’ most recent New Year’s Eve headlines.
Because of their recent strong play, Hibs start the new year in seventh place in the Scottish Premiership.
The Hibees sit seven points clear of rivals Hearts, whose disappointments continued in their year-ending match, after winning five of their previous six games, including the Edinburgh Derby bragging rights. The Jambos have only won one of their last six games across all competitions, in contrast to their opponents. Hearts lost to Hibs after defeating St Johnstone, and then blew a 2-0 lead against Ross County in stoppage time. They are now only three points from the bottom of the standings in 11th place.
The Hearts supporters are becoming increasingly irate, to the point that a demonstration is scheduled for Thursday, January 2nd, outside Tynecastle Park. After a short hiatus, the Edinburgh teams will play again on January 2. Here is a summary of some of the most recent Hearts and Hibs headlines until then.
