Robbie Neilson is pleased his Hearts players are showing the benefit of the World Cup break after they restarted their league campaign with a win.
It was an action-packed affair at Tynecastle as Hearts saw off relegation-threatened Kilmarnock, with goals from Josh Ginnelly and a brace from league joint-top scorer Lawrence Shankland sealing the three points despite a goal for Killie with fifteen minutes to play. It means the Jambos are back in to fourth spot, just one behind Aberdeen who fell to a late defeat against Celtic.
And while Neilson believes his top stars such as goal-machine Shankland have benefited from a period of rest, the Gorgie gaffer wants consistency to be the key and for his side to see out games in a calmer manner.
