McGlynn plays down wage issue

Hearts manager John McGlynn insists he is not overly concerned by the latest wage delay at the Scottish Premier League club.

Six players and two members of staff, including McGlynn himself, did not receive their wages on schedule on Monday and those monthly salaries remain outstanding.

On four occasions last season, salaries were significantly delayed at Hearts, who avoided Scottish Premier League sanctions over the issue in January.

On Thursday, McGlynn said it "might not be the last" time he would have to address the issue at Hearts, who won the Scottish Cup in May and played Liverpool in a two-legged Europa League qualifying tie last month.

"It doesn't concern me, really," McGlynn said.

"Everybody's been paid in the past and I'm expecting to be paid in the near future.

"The club are waiting on money coming in. There's money due to come in which will certainly take that issue away.

"The money's coming in from a very credible source; it's not like we don't think the money's not going to come in.

"It's not like the last time when we were waiting on the money to come from Lithuania (where majority shareholder Vladimir Romanov is based).

"I'm not that worried. My wife works, so I'm all right."
