00:00It's clear sometimes you get to the stage of the season and it's all ifs and buts and goal difference and goal scored and all these things come into play but it is fairly straightforward. The good thing from Hearts' perspective is it's in their own hands. They know that going to Motherwell and win and they don't need to worry about anything else. But going to Motherwell and winning is not an easy task at any time for Hearts as their record there will show. But particularly for this Hearts team, you know, they've been criticised.
00:26Not so much not turning up but not getting results in bigger games against the bigger teams. So Motherwell wouldn't quite be in that category but it's nonetheless a very big game because there's so much riding on it.
00:39So there'll be a lot of pressure on Hearts. It's not a situation they would want to be going into with it where, you know, almost a kind of winner-takes-all scenario like that.
00:48Still an eight-point gap as it stands between Hearts in sixth place and London United in fifth. So closing that is going to be tough. I mean, the Hearts do have aspirations of trying to get into Europe.
01:00And fifth place might be enough for Europe if, you know, if Celtic win the Scottish Cup or Aberdeen potentially.
01:07I think getting into the top six, I don't think anybody should sit there and think that getting into the top six would be an achievement.
01:15You know, from Hearts' perspective, it's a little bit of progress and probably important progress from where they were at Christmas time.
01:23But it's not the aim for Hearts as a club. The aims are significantly higher than that.
01:28For the sake of Hearts, we'll see you next time.
