Hearts boss Robbie Neilson has urged the club's fans to put their money towards the Foundation of Hearts rather than criticising him.

A banner calling for Neilson's dismissal as manager was flown over Tynecastle during the Jam Tarts' 1-0 win over Partick Thistle.

The Hearts fans inside the ground responded with chants of, "There's only one Robbie Neilson".

Speaking after the game, Neilson said: "I didn't see it but I was shown it after the game.

"I'd rather people spent their money on the (fans group) Foundation of Hearts instead of wasting their money on me.

"It's up to them, they can do what they want. I think we're sitting in a decent position but I'll have to have a look at my gear. Don't waste your money on that, get it into the Foundation.

"I was wondering why they were chanting my name. I'd rather they were shouting for the players and giving them some encouragement."

It was another pleasing afternoon for Neilson as his side racked up a third straight win courtesy of Djoum's effort.

Hearts had chances to add to their lead after the break before the Jags piled on the pressure at the end.

Neilson added: "We played all right but I thought we deserved the win. We didn't give up a lot of chances.

"It's always difficult if you don't get that second goal. It's three games, three clean sheets and nine points so I'm delighted with that."
