McKenna gets a half at center back

Well, for the first time in ages Big Kev got a go at center back coming on at the half for Webster at Celtic Park. Celtic who'd been running rough shod all over Hearts promptly scored their 5th but that about wrapped it up for the game markers.

Pressley and McKenna were paired at the start of last campain but didn't seem to click as well as they needed to, costing McKenna his sometimes place in the back line. Recall McKenna's lack of mature playing decision being blamed. Given big Kev's versatility, enter Mr. Webster at the back, and exit Mr. McKenna to the front. A bit unfair in my oppinion, but that's the way it goes.

Anyway, good to see Levein considers Kevin an option at center back. Was still pretty rough for Hearts all over the park with Big Kev or no, and if the scoreline had been closer Hearts would've likely conceaded a penalty or two.

Apparently McKenna's got a bit of grit in him yet. Spent much of the half tearing about his part of the field elbows and dangerous tackles a flying[:0].

Don't know if he was trying to make an impression with the Gaffer or what, but it was good to hear. Maybe Watson's part in the Finland friendly did have a positive...
