Larry Kingston hopes that next season will be a difficult one for Hearts, but he hopes to help them in the fight for third place.

The Ghana midfielder, linked with a move down to the Premiership, has revealed that he and his family are fully settled in Scotland, and he has no plans to join the exodus of players leaving Tynecastle.

This could be a clear indication that Hearts will not be signing a host of players in the summer, in particular Paul Hartley. The former fans favourite, out of contract at Celtic, looks to be on his way to Greece. If the Jambo's fail in a spectacular coup to get him back, then it could be up to the likes of Kingston to consistently deliver the type of performance that saw him lined up with a move to Bolton.
