00:00I think you could almost visibly see the way he lift off his shoulders when that header,

00:04the first header went in, which was his 50th league goal for Hearts into the bargain.

00:09And I obviously got his second not long after that.

00:12And he just looked, I said in my report, he looked like his old self.

00:16You know, we shouldn't put the cart before the horse and suggest that that's him.

00:19He's back to normal now and he'll be scoring two goals in every game.

00:21But he did look just as if he had his confidence back once that first goal went in.

00:26So I was pleased for him.

00:27I think he's had a tough time in the last few months.

00:30You know, the contract thing running down, whether you could say that's a distraction

00:43Good to get him back scoring goals again.

00:45And I think, certainly ahead of this game in Copenhagen on Thursday,

00:51You need people going into games with confidence and that'll have done him a world of good.

00:55More points than them at this stage.

00:57They have.
