musa drammeh's seventh minute goal earned hearts a 1—0 win over motherwell.eaten 2—0 at kilmarnock whilst stjohnstone remain rooted to the bottom despite a point at home to hibs and playing more than half the game with ten men. that's scotland taken care of. in the premier league, everton manager sean dyche says he's got bigger issues to deal than neal maupay�*s comments on social media. the striker is on loan from everton at marseille, but posted on x, "whenever i'm having a bad day, ijust check the everton score and smile." dyche is instead concentrating on their relegation battle and improving his team in the january transfer window whilst trying to balance the books they are our guidelines and notjust for us another clubs are working with them and others going into the world where maybe they have to look at their numbers and everyone is looking at the numbers to be sure and making sure they are in the correct position to move forward. the ones that are unlikely to be hundreds of millions of pounds whether you have got it or not, january is a notoriously t

from the scottish premiership today — hibernian recorded their fifth win in seven games, beating motherwellpenalty against dundee united, who won 1—0 to move third in the table, thanks to an outrageous overhead kick from lewis moult. david moyes�* return to everton has been confirmed. the scotsman has signed a two—year deal to take charge of the club for a second time. moyes lead everton for more than 500 games between 2002 and 2013, guiding the club to four european campaigns and the 2009 fa cup final before taking over from alex ferguson at manchester united. his immediate task will be to keep the club in the premier league — they are 16th and just a point seperates them from ipswich and wolves below them. this my personal feeling this my personalfeeling is that which have been dice to the end of the season but moyes is the perfect option. when you look around, who else is going to keep us up this season and cares about everton? there is literally no one else. baines and seamus did a good job but they do not have the experience for a relegation battle but he did and did it for west ham. h
