Stephen Kingsley says Hearts need to get back to doing the basics well as they look to bounce back from a patchy run of form.
The Jambos lost out at Livingston as they suffered defeat in their fifth match in the last six outings. It's been a stop-start season for key man Kingsley due to injuries but the big bonus for Robbie Neilson and his troops was that he played the full 90 minutes at the Tony Macaroni Area.
As a defender, the 28-year-old says keeping clean sheets is the 'bread and butter' and the Jambos must get back to being defensively strong and sound. Last season's success in finishing third behind Celtic and Rangers and reaching the Scottish Cup Final to qualify for European group stage football was achieved by doing the simple things correctly - something he says the Gorgie club must get back to doing quickly.
