Hearts head coach Derek McInnes remains confident in his squad following a defeat at Livingston on 5 April. The Edinburgh club lost 1-0 at the Almondvale Stadium, which reduced their lead at the top of the Scottish Premiership. According to Sky Sports, Livingston secured the victory with a single goal in the second half.

The head coach told reporters that the result was a missed opportunity but noted the team’s current league position remains strong.
Livingston moved up to eighth place in the standings following the result, per the Scottish Professional Football League. Hearts next face Aberdeen at Tynecastle Park as they continue their pursuit of the league title.
