What a great result I think Hearts can really challenge Rangers and Celtic this year. This result is proof.
How did the game go? Did Niemi do well against his former team? How about Flo and co. ? Who were the scorers. We unfortunately don't get Scottish league football in Finland but we see clips during our sports programs sometimes.

Canadian Kevin McKenna scored for us first.ex-scumball Russel Latapy scored and Tore Andre Flo slotted in to make it 2-1 to them.however we got the equaliser we deserved and simmons cracked one in from off the stanction from just outside the box to level it.
Niemi made himself a fan's favourite during his time at rangers and was given an ovation by them when he went to there side in the 2nd half.Niemi (by his standards) didnt have too much to do apart from collect low/high crosses and was blameless for the goals.in all fairness,i think it's a bit too soon for talk about challenging themn as our team is similar to Ajax(very young,inexperienced but very talented as they showed last night v Numan,De Boer etc.)
p.s i heard what happened to the Finnish team with the plane to Albania.lol!

Well it was really hilarious the Albanian airport personnel wouldn't let the Finland team leave as the Albanian air flight control didn't accept credit cards. So all the players had to pick American dollars out of their pockets to pay for the flight home. Some players were running late as they had to head home to their respective league teams. For example Jonathan Johansson was so mad he said that Albania is the worst country in the world and that they have no arrangements what so ever.
Luckily we have one player in the Finnish team who speaks Albanian Shefki Kuqi.
