Hearts have appointed Premiership veteran Derek McInnes as their new head coach.

Hearts finished in the Scottish Premiership's bottom six last season .

Neil Critchley's six-month reign was brief and meek after Steven Naismith was sacked in September .

The 53-year-old has been in charge of Aberdeen for eight years .

But is he the right man to take Edinburgh heavyweights forward?.

Hearts are in need of stability and Derek McInnes would be the best gaffer.

Hearts fans are split down the middle on whether he should be appointed.

Joey Martin : It's a 'no-brainer' for the club to appoint him as a safe pair of hands.

Bruce Wishart : To me, he is a top manager. Plenty of experience. Will bring stability to the club. Jason Brownhill : He's always been a strong, reliable manager.
