PFA Player of the Season and Hearts star Claudio Braga has urged his teammates to remain “professional” after reestablishing their three-point gap at the summit of the Scottish Premiership.
A second-half comeback against Rangers extends the Jambo’s unbeaten home league run and secured a club-record points tally of 76. Speaking at full-time, Braga described their latest triumph as “crazy”.
“We were all in the locker room, everybody was looking at each other, like ‘it’s three games to go and we are still top of the league’.
“It’s not even easy to describe it with words, I’m not going to lie. It’s just a crazy feeling.”
The Portuguese star has been a fan favourite in Gorgie, and insists that managing the excitement of their title challenge can be difficult.
“It’s hard, I’m not going to lie, but we try to be as professional as we can,”
“It’s been a long time that people have been saying that maybe this could be possible.
“We’ve already had that [outside noise], and through the championship we have just taken it game by game. We dealt with Rangers, and now it’s Motherwell, and that’s it. We don’t care about Falkirk or Celtic for now, and hopefully we win that game, and then we go for the next one.”
