Lawrence Shankland says the Edinburgh derby presents the perfect chance for Hearts to get back on track.
The Gorgie side have been much changed in the space of a week with long-term boss Robbie Neilson sacked following last weekend's defeat against St Mirren. A horror run of form has resulted in the Jambos dropping to fourth in the Premiership standings behind Aberdeen with just seven games to play.
Steven Naismith has taken up the role of interim boss until the summer with his first task to get the capital club back to winning ways at Easter Road in a huge derby showdown. Robert Snodgrass - who had been ever-present - is also unlikely to play for the club again in what has proved to be what Shankland describes as a 'hectic' period for his side.
