Scott Robertson is certain his former Dundee United and Raith Rovers team-mate Jon Daly will be a big success if he is appointed Hearts boss on a permanent basis.
The big Irishman has been in temporary charge of the Jambos since they parted company with Ian Cathro.
Daly has overseen a defeat at Celtic Park, a draw against Rangers at Ibrox and a win over Kilmarnock.
The 34-year-old former striker will be in charge once again for his side’s trip to Motherwell tomorrow with Hearts determined to take their time over the appointment with Steven Pressley and former Dundee boss Paul Hartley understood to also be in the frame.
However, Stark’s Park midfielder Robertson is convinced Daly is the right man for the Jambos job.
He said: “I have been texting Jon and he has had some good results.
“He is the kind of player – or rather coach now – that players respect as a person first and foremost and for what he has done in the game.
“It seems to me that he is getting the best out of the Hearts players.
“I know they have some tough fixtures coming up and I am not sure if he is going to get the job but he is in the running for it.
“If he was to get it, then I am sure he would be a success.
“He is a great guy and he commands respect.”
