Michael Smith doesn’t know if he’s got a long-term future at Hearts. But, if this is to be his last season at Tynecastle, the Northern Irish defender is driven to leave with a Scottish Cup medal around his neck after triple heartbreak in the past.
Smith is out of contract in the summer and the 34-year-old isn’t sure what lies in store. But he’s certain of one thing – he’d love a glory day at Hampden at last.

“If they want me here, that’s brilliant and I’d be really happy. But if they think it’s time for me to move on, I’ll be disappointed, but take it on the chin.”
Winning the Scottish Cup would, however, provide a sensational send-off. Smith and his team lost two finals to Celtic before Rangers beat them last May.
Smith said: “Most of the lads have been to a final now. I’ve lost three, so I’ve got a burning desire to win a trophy here and try and win that Scottish Cup. We know we can do it, we just need to be a little bit better on the actual day. We had a good season last season finishing third but just couldn’t cap it off with the cup.
“We had Europe this year and it was a tough start with a lot of games, but we’re picking up momentum and

Katie Reul editor Will Smith won the NAACP Image Award for outstanding actor in a motion picture for his performance in “Emancipation” on Saturday night, marking his first award win since his infamous incident at the 2022 Oscars in which he slapped Chris Rock onstage.
