Derek McInnes, the Hearts head coach, has told his players to relish the opportunity of winning the Scottish Premiership. The Edinburgh club currently sits at the top of the table with ten matches remaining in the season. According to BBC Sport, McInnes believes the squad should enjoy the pressure associated with a title race rather than fearing it.
Hearts have not won the top-flight league title since 1960. The head coach noted that while expectations have increased, his team has shown the necessary consistency to remain in contention. Per the BBC report, McInnes emphasised that such opportunities do not occur frequently for clubs outside of the Old Firm.
Recent results have kept the side ahead of rivals Celtic and Rangers in the standings. The manager stated that maintaining composure during the final weeks of the campaign will be vital for his players. Hearts next face a trip to Aberdeen as they look to extend their lead at the summit.
