Joe Savage joins in the Frankie Kent song

It may be a busy few days for Joe Savage, but the Tynecastle director of football was lapping up the atmosphere in Greece.

The Hearts sporting director join fans in a Thessaloniki bar ahead of the second leg of their Europa Conference League playoff clash with PAOK. The Jambos trail the Greek Super League outfit 2-1 after a narrow defeat in Gorgie last week, and have a job on their hands overturning the deficit in the notorious Toumba Stadium, nicknamed "The Black Hell' due to it's intimidating atmosphere and the hosts' Gate 4 ultra fan group.


Around 1000 Hearts fans have jetted out to Greece in the hope of seeing Franke McAvoy and Steven Naismith's team reach the group stage for a second successive season. And they've taken to the Thessaloniki nightlife if footage on social media is anything to go by. If this is to be their final trip to the continent this season, they they are making the most of it.

And Savage was in amongst them as they danced on tables whilst belting out a song in honour of recent signing Frankie Kent. Savage helped do the deal that brought Kent north from Peterborough this summer, and the centre back has impressed with his strength in the air and organisation skills in the heart of defence.
