Hearts boss Robbie Neilson is aiming to secure maximum points to haul his side back up the Premiership table before next week’s World Cup break.
The Jambos face three games in a week, with Motherwell at home followed by a trip to Ibrox to face Rangers before they host Livingston at Tynecastle. A recent run of poor results saw Hearts drop to third to seventh as they couldn’t buy a win. However, they have shown recent signs of a comeback after a positive display in the home defeat to Celtic was followed by a win over RFS and then a big victory in the Highlands against Ross County.
After their European journey came to an end with a battling 3-1 defeat against Istanbul Basaksehir on Thursday, Neilson has set a firm focus on taking a possible nine out of nine points in the next league encounters, as sets sight on reclaiming third spot again this season.
