Manager Gary Locke insists any potential new owner of Hearts must prioritise the interests and long-term stability of the club.

Stadium future

It has been reported that the United States-based consortium will seek to move the club from Tynecastle to a new stadium. "It's not something I have thought about," added Locke. "We are back on the training pitch and that is the only thing that concerns me. "If a new owner comes in and wants to move away from Tynecastle, that's up to them, it's not a question I feel I need to answer. "At the moment, we are just happy to be here, happy to be surviving. "You could possibly see the benefits when you look at some of the big clubs who have moved stadiums down south but Tynecastle is our home, it is where everyone associates Heart of Midlothian and it is a fantastic arena in which to play football. "You ask anyone in Scottish football, they love playing at Tynecastle and it is certainly no different for me."
