McInnes admits 'guilt' over Hearts exit before his Tynecastle return

O técnico do Rangers, Derek McInnes, admite que sente culpa por ter deixado o Hearts rumo ao Ibrox no verão e aceita a recepção ruim que pode encontrar quando voltar a Tynecastle na quarta-feira.

O Hearts ficou a minutos do primeiro título da primeira divisão em 66 anos antes de perder para o Celtic no último dia, e McInnes diz que tem orgulho do que conquistou em um clube de Edimburgo muito bem administrado. Ele também acredita que o Hearts é absolutamente candidato ao título nesta temporada sob o novo técnico Wouter Vrancken.

Ele não espera uma recepção calorosa, porém, apesar de ter entregado um elenco que chegou tão perto de quebrar a hegemonia do Celtic e do seu atual clube. “Bem, a esperança seria entrar em campo, aplaudir os torcedores e haver um reconhecimento dos dois lados, mas isso não vai acontecer”, disse. “Eu entendo perfeitamente.”

McInnes destacou a dimensão da conquista: levar um time que havia terminado entre os seis últimos a 80 pontos o deixou com uma sensação de injustiça sobre como a temporada terminou, e ele aceita que a recepção de quarta-feira reflita isso. O Hearts liderou a Premiership escocesa por boa parte da temporada, só para perder por 3 a 1 em Celtic Park, quando os atuais campeões mantiveram o título.

“Na época, no Hearts, estávamos doloridos com a temporada passada”, disse. “Era quase como se estivéssemos de luto.” Ele descreveu o elenco unido no começo da entressafra, e é por isso que a decisão de ficar ou sair pesou tanto.

McInnes também entende como os torcedores se sentiram, porque teve uma reação parecida quando o capitão e artilheiro Lawrence Shankland anunciou que se mudaria para o Ibrox. “Lembro como me senti naquele momento, como me senti um pouco traído”, disse, acrescentando que o tratamento que recebe é o que é, mas que nada vai mudar o que ele sente pelo período no Hearts.
