Reaction to the influx of Lithuanian players amongst Hearts supporters has been mixed, with several being booed for perceived poor performance and the perception that they receive preferential treatment. In contrast, others such as Andrius Velička (Hearts top scorer in 2006-07) and Marius Žaliūkas became established important first team players.
