JOHN ROBERTSON reckons Neil Critchley needs to do a Rory Mcllroy and just find a way to get his priceless signature win at Hearts.

NEIL IN NEED OF A RORY VICTORY MOMENT

The Tynecastle legend is willing the boss to deliver the big one in Saturday’s Scottish Cup semi-final against Aberdeen.

Critchley was left gutted as Hearts failed to secure a top-six Premiership finish and unhappy fans are demanding a success at Hampden over the Reds.

Robertson knows the last-four showdown is vital and, just like Mcllroy did to win the Masters, Hearts just have to get it done.

He said: “The fans view it as a massive game. Given the inability to reach the top six, it becomes even more important.

“Neil will have to get the boys fired up for it. It will become a nervous game that will have mistakes in it. But ultimately, it doesn’t matter how you do it.

“We talked about Rory Mellroy and how you get over the line. You get over the line somehow.

“Hearts fans will look at it and say: ‘He’s not won any games against Celtic, or Rangers, or Aberdeen, Hibs, etc’.

“You do need a signature result, there’s no doubt about it.
