Hearts coach David Duncan is happy for under-fire Asante Kotoko coach Mas-Ud Dramani after Sunday's derby 0-0 draw in Accra.
Duncan believes the points shared will bring some respite to his opposite number whose future has been speculated after a run of mixed results.
It was rumoured that Dramani was handed a three-match ultimatum to save his job and defeat in the Super Clash could have been his graveyard.
Duncan expressed his sympathy to the 2013 FIFA U17 Women's World Cup bronze medal winning coach.
"For the sake of camaraderie, I would be to some extent happy for Didi Dramani because all the speculation that was going on around this game in respect of how it went if it had gone in our favour," Duncan said in a post-match interview
"So perhaps i mean (it's) just good-riddance it went this way."
Kotoko are now second-place on the Ghana Premier League table and are now one point behind leaders Berekum Chelsea.
