McInnes is stressing his side need to get better if they are to remain in the title hunt. "We just want the games to get bigger and bigger and, for Hearts to stay relevant, we just need to keep chalking off wins." The Scotland striker insisted Hearts "just need to concentrate on ourselves" rather than looking at the league table. "So as long as you focus on getting three points every week, you'll be in a good place." "We're in a good place, good position and obviously we're going into the derby confident, so it's a good place to be."
