"We're enjoying where we are. I got asked earlier, 'how many points do you think it will take'? Nobody knows. We can all surmise and we can guess, but nobody would have guessed that Hearts would be where we are after this length of time. We're in a great position. It's down to the efforts of the players, how well they've done."
"I think there's still a lot of people out there who think it's maybe a step too far for us as a team and a club, potentially. But we can't really get caught up in that. I've said all along, I think we can win enough games to be in the fight. For us, it's keep doing what we're doing. The squad looks calm."
Hearts hold a five-point lead over Celtic in the Scottish Premiership title race, with Rangers one point further back and Motherwell ten points adrift. The Edinburgh club, seeking their first championship since 1960, recently bounced back from a defeat at Ibrox with consecutive 1-0 home victories against Falkirk and Aberdeen. Manager Derek McInnes emphasizes that Hearts are in an excellent position after leading for 23 weeks, crediting the players' efforts and focus. He acknowledges that many doubt whether Hearts can maintain their challenge, but remains confident the squad can win enough games to stay in contention. McInnes stresses the importance of taking each remaining game seriously as the title race intensifies.
