Derek McInnes stated that Hearts will get stronger as the season concludes, despite describing his side as huge underdogs. The head coach highlighted the return of several players from injury as a key factor for the remaining seven fixtures.
McInnes acknowledged the difficulty of the upcoming schedule but remains confident in the depth of his squad. According to Sky Sports, the return of experienced personnel provides the coaching staff with more tactical options.
Hearts currently occupy a position in the top half of the table as the league prepares for the post-split fixtures. Per the Scottish Premiership, the club aims to secure a European qualification spot by May.
The squad recently integrated younger players due to a high number of absences in the first team. However, McInnes noted that the availability of senior professionals will stabilise recent performances. The team continues its preparations for the final stretch of the campaign, starting with their next scheduled league match.
