Hearts face a monumental task to overcome Spurs lead when they run out at White Hart Lane. That does not mean they will not try to show they have some talent tehmselves.

He said: "They are Premiership players for a reason - they've got great skill, great ability and they're pure athletes as well. If you look at our strongest boys against their strongest boys it's men v boys. The first leg was very disappointing. I think we probably did show them too much respect. Once we got a bit closer to them in the second half and actually had a go at them, we showed we were a lot better than what we showed in the first half. Hopefully we can go down there tomorrow night and put that right, hopefully put on a good performance and get a good result for the fans to enjoy."
Following tomorrow night's game, Hearts wil refocus their attention on Sunday's Edinburgh derby with Hibs.Grainger, who moved to Tynecastle from St Johnstone over the summer, added: "I can't wait. It will be my first encounter with Hibs since joining Hearts. It's a game I'm looking forward to. We'll get the Tottenham game out of the way and concentrate on the derby after that."
