Ex Hearts star assesses striker’s rise, Calvin Miller’s frustration and workhorse Josh McPake

Former Hearts captain Christophe Berra has praised teenage striker James Wilson for his impressive breakthrough this season. Wilson initially fell out of manager Wouter Vrancken's plans and spent time on loan at Tottenham Hotspur's academy before returning to Gorgie. The forward earned praise after scoring a long-range goal against Rapid Vienna in the Europa Conference League.

Berra labeled Wilson as Hearts' biggest Scottish talent while cautioning that the youngster will experience natural form dips as he develops. Berra also addressed international prospects during Scotland's transitional phase, noting that teammate Calvin Miller recently missed out on selection in head coach Sebastian Pocognoli's first squad.
