HEARTS, HEARTS, GLORIOUS HEARTRATE

Debut ace Braga blown away by Tynie crowd

- 

CLAUDIO BRAGA admits his first taste of Tynecastle sent his Heart-rate soaring.

Now the summer signing hopes the excitement surrounding the new era in Gorgie can see Hearts skyrocket too.

The Portuguese forward was blown away by the atmosphere on his debut in Saturday's 4-1 Premier Sports Cup win over Dunfermline that saw the Derek McInnes reign get off to a flier.

Braga impressed on the left of midfield and looks set for a second run-out against Hamilton in Cumbernauld tonight.

Tynecastle was only just over half full for the visit of the Pars. But the former Aalesunds ace can't wait to see the stadium rocking when the real stuff gets underway in a fortnight. He said: "It was amazing. For the warm-up it was really good. And just when I came in for the start of the game it was great.
