Hearts have seven games to 'define their season'
[BBC] With the international window now closed until the World Cup this summer the spotlight in Scotland falls squarely back on the domestic game, and what a story it has been. No narrative has captured the imagination quite like Hearts' relentless push for the Premiership title. Week after week, their performances have not only set the pace at home but sparked interest far beyond Scotland's borders.
This is no longer just a good season — it's a campaign that has demanded attention. And yet, as the run-in begins, the message from Tynecastle will be clear: keep it calm, keep it controlled. They've already secured 66 points, 21 remain and seven games stand between this group of players and a place in club folklore.
The equation is simple but the execution rarely is. The pressure, too, is very real. By the time Hearts step onto the pitch in West Lothian, they may have been knocked off top spot.
A Rangers victory the day before would tighten things further, adding another layer of tension to an already gripping title race. But this is where mindset becomes everything. For Derek McInnes and his players, the focus cannot drift.
Title races are not won by chasing others, they are won by taking care of your own business. Match by match, moment by moment. Replicate the form shown earlier in the season across these final fixtures, and the prize will take care of itself.
