Former Heart of Midlothian caretaker manager Steven Pressley believes his former club are not the only side facing pressure in the Scottish Premiership title race. Hearts currently lead the table with 63 points after 30 matches, according to Sky Sports. They hold a two-point advantage over second-placed Celtic and are three points clear of Rangers in third.
Pressley, who also managed Dundee earlier this season, stated that the chasing Glasgow clubs must also deal with significant expectations. Celtic moved within two points of the leaders following a 3-1 victory against Motherwell on 14 March, per worldfootball.net. Rangers sit a further point back with 60 points after 30 games.
Hearts recently suffered a 1-0 defeat at Kilmarnock, which allowed their rivals to close the gap at the top of the division. The Edinburgh side next face Dundee on 21 March as they attempt to maintain their lead. Pressley noted that handling such pressure is essential for players and the league's competitive health, according to the Daily Record.
