Bloom repeats faith in title ambition for Hearts

Tony Bloom has reaffirmed his belief that Hearts can win the Scottish Premiership by 2035, stating he would be really disappointed if the club fails to achieve that goal within a decade. The Brighton chairman, who purchased a 29% stake in Hearts in June 2025, emphasized his ambition to disrupt the decades-long dominance of Celtic and Rangers. Hearts narrowly missed winning the title last season following a dramatic final-day defeat at Celtic Park.

Despite losing head coach Derek McInnes, captain Lawrence Shankland, and midfielder Cammy Devlin to Rangers, Hearts have started the season strongly under new manager Wouter Vrancken. Sitting third in the table and unbeaten at home for over a year, Bloom expressed optimism about the squad's recovery and new signings ahead of their upcoming fixture against Celtic.
