Jonsson just wants to play

HeartsEggert Jonsson has told manager Csaba Laszlo that he will play anywhere in the side to see Hearts through their injury crisis.

The Iceland international was moved from right-back to centre-back and secured the points for Hearts at St Mirren on Saturday with a 79th-minute header.

Jonsson, whose goal ended a run of five successive matches without victory, said: "It's the first time I have played centre-half for the first team although I have played there a few times for the reserves.

"When there are injuries, I can play there. It's not my favourite position but it's okay.

"As long as I am in the team, I will play anywhere. The manager told me what to do, he kept me right and getting the goal from the set-piece is just a bonus."
