'Let's make some noise' is the battle cry ahead of every game at Tynecastle and Jim Jefferies wants the fans to roar the club into Europe. The club has four games left and they are all to be played in Edinburgh so not much of an excuse not to be there to back the club. While the fight to get into the top six was left till the last minute, there is a strong chance of a top-four finish and the guaranteed Europa League slot that comes with it following weekend defeats for Motherwell and Hibs at the hands of Dundee United and Celtic. Hearts will move one point behind Motherwell if they beat the Lanarkshire side at Tynecastle on Saturday. They also have Hibs in their sights with an Easter Road derby followed by Tynecastle clashes against Dundee United and Celtic. Even a fifth-placed finish could secure a European place, depending on Dundee United's league finish and Scottish Cup final result, and Jefferies wants Hearts fans to recognise the importance of their run-in.
JJ said: "Saturday is the first of three home games for us before the season ends and if we want to finish as high up the league as we can, then we have to make the most of that advantage by showing the correct desire and commitment. The support the fans gave the team against Kilmarnock was superb and they have an important role to play in the next few games. We now don't have to leave Edinburgh before the season finishes so there isn't too much of a problem in terms of travel for the supporters. Tynecastle is a special stadium for atmosphere and with three out of our next four matches at home, we have a great opportunity to make that advantage count. Motherwell are the team in our sights now and everything is shaping up for a cracking game this weekend."
