In 2013, the sheet with ‘We told you so #TickTock’ scrawled on it was placed outside the Main Stand.

It was at a time when Hearts were in a deep financial mess and about to head into administration at the end of the Vladimir Romanov era.

In the intervening period, fans have rallied, raising more than £12million.

Hearts are set to become the biggest fan-owned club in the UK on Monday and the club reminded fans of that banner on Twitter.

The club posted a picture of the banner, accompanied by a grinning face.

Monday has been labelled ‘Heart and Soul Day’ with the majority shareholding to be transferred to the Foundation of Hearts following a delay due to the pandemic.
