Hearts boss Derek McInnes ensures this game “will not be treated as a semi final” despite injury concerns and close battles.
Hearts will face Falkirk on Wednesday night in their second last game of the SPFL season.
McInnes spoke to Hearts TV ahead of the fixture saying “it’s a really important five or six days ahead of us, but I think it’s important we enjoy try and enjoy it”
“We feel as though we are in good form. For us it’s just a complete focus on Falkirk tomorrow night”
“The game needs our full attention. I know i’ll get asked a lot of questions regarding the weekend and things like that”
“But for us this isn’t a semi final ahead of a final, it’s a final for us tomorrow”
“It is important that we have the concentration on Falkirk because they are a good side and they have cause a lot of teams problems”
Looking back to last weekends fixture against Motherwell, the leaders were held to a 1-1 draw after and own goal from Stephen Kingsley and then an equaliser from Lawrence Shankland.
The home side will be without two key players. Marc Leonard and Craig Halkett have both suffered an Achilles rupture and Halkett a torn calf alongside it.
The pair underwent surgery in London, and will now be out for the next 7-9 months with Leonard looking set to return to his parent club Birmingham City.
A massive game in the capital on Wednesday night and the Gorgie sides title rivals Celtic will face Motherwell at Fir Park. Both games kick off at 8pm.
