Derek McInnes insists Hearts must focus on securing victories rather than psychological advantages in the Scottish Premiership title race. According to the SPFL, Hearts currently lead the table with 66 points after 31 matches. Rangers follow in second place with 63 points, while Celtic occupy third with 61 points.
Rangers host Dundee United on Saturday and could move top on goal difference with a victory. Hearts travel to Livingston on Sunday before Celtic face Dundee. McInnes stated that playing after rivals does not provide a mental edge, per the Daily Record. He noted his team remains the underdog regarding wages and transfer fees compared to the Glasgow clubs, according to The Guardian.
Hearts have received advice from former Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson during their bid for a first league title since 1960. McInnes previously confirmed that record signing Ageu will miss the remainder of the season due to injury. The league will split into two sections after 33 matches to determine the final standings.
