HEARTS LATEST | Is Claudio Braga the signing of the season?
Thursday, February 19, 2026 • Duration 42:22
Joel and Craig look at the rise of Hearts striker Claudio Braga from summer recruit to the focal point of the attack in the absence of Lawrence Shankland. When Heart of Midlothian signed Braga, most of the recent football he had played came in the lower leagues in Norway. He has since gone on to be one of the best Hearts signings of the 2025/26 season, as well as the Scottish Premiership as a whole.
