Stephen Humphrys reckons there is no better motivator for Hearts than the lure of European football to turn their form around.
The Jambos haven't been in the best of states in recent weeks with two wins out of their last five games culminating in a heavy defeat to Aberdeen just prior to the international break. Robbie Neilson's men sank in the north east against the manager-less Dons but still remain four points ahead of their third-place rivals and five ahead of city rivals Hibs.
But there was a wave of disappointment in the Hearts camp following the loss at Pittodrie and on-loan star Humphrys - who has already teased he would like to make his temporary switch a permanent one - claims the idea of returning the European stage is a big motivator. The winger has also moved to explain how the recent form can be turned around after the break.
