Steven Naismith says he will remain at Hearts regardless of what division they are in next seasonHearts captain Steven Naismith has agreed to take a 50% wage cut in order to help the club survive. The Scottish Premiership side had asked players and staff to accept a deduction in pay because of the financial impact of the coronavirus crisis. Owner Ann Budge has said the club would lose £1m in revenue from the suspension of football until at least 30 April. However, Budge has since told staff she hopes to review the wage cut proposal when more detail on Chancellor Rishi Sunak's salary pledge becomes available. “My family and I feel that, through a long career, football has been very good to us," said Naismith.
