Robbie Neilson revealed discussions are taking place between Hearts and MK Dons for his services following the 2-0 win over Rangers at Tynecastle.

However, the Hearts head coach refused to confirm he would be moving to the English League One side, saying: "What will be will be."

A double from forward Robbie Muirhead - his first two goals for Hearts since signing in the summer - lifted the Edinburgh side above the visitors and into second place in the Ladbrokes Premiership.

Asked if it was just a case of Hearts and MK Dons agreeing a fee to allow for his release, former Hearts defender Neilson said: "There are discussions at the moment but I don't want it to be about me.

"It is about Robbie Muirhead, a boy who was at Kilmarnock, Dundee United, drifting about, Partick Thistle, boys like that who come here to a good environment and encouragement from the fans and scores two goals.

"A boy who couldn't get a game in the Premiership last year. It is about guys like that.

"I will be back in tomorrow morning and what will be will be.

"It is not about me, it is about the players and the club getting second in the league, following recent relegation and the long journey, it is phenomenal for the whole club.

"It is not about my situation. That will be dealt with tomorrow."
