Jambos chief backs skipper
Hearts, 14:15, October 26, 2009 ,
Csaba Laszlo says the Hearts players have his full backing after expressing his anger at the boos aimed at skipper Michael Stewart.
The former Manchester United man was jeered by his own fans when substituted in the second half of the goalless draw at home to Falkirk on Saturday.
The Jambos fans have let their feelings be known to some of the squad in recent weeks and the manager is unhappy with the treatment they have received.
Laszlo said: "I can't talk for Mike but I think for the first time in my career I saw that the captain did not have the acceptance from the supporters, this is not okay.
"Everyone works for the club and so long as I'm in charge, I support the players."
Laszlo added: "I always protect my players and so long as Mike Stewart is in the club, he has the protection from us and from me."
