A draw is not good enough

heartsJJ is not going to be content with just scraping into the top-six. He wants to secure Jambos position in the top half of the league with a win over Kilmarnock at home on Saturday. He wants his to "finish the job" at Tynecastle. Last night’s 1-0 win for Dundee United over St Johnstone at McDiarmid Park means that a point against the Ayrshire side will be enough to keep the Gorgie club in the top half of the SPL ahead of the split. The Hearts manager, however, is looking for his side to secure a top-half finish in style.

JJ said: "The result in Perth was obviously a wee boost for us but I knew it was a difficult match for St Johnstone.  We only need a point against Kilmarnock now but that's not how we'll be approaching the game.  We need the victory as not only will that get us into the top six but it is also important that we try to close the gap on the teams above us.  We have a great opportunity now and if we can't take it, then we don't deserve to be in the top six.  It's time for us to finish the job."
