What has Derek McInnes said ahead of Motherwell vs Hearts?

Hearts manager Derek McInnes stated: “Every game becomes vitally important and the focus this week has been on that game now. We take the good from the Rangers game, and I think we remind the players about what we did well and what we didn't do so well. The supporters responded brilliantly to what was asked of them. There was still one or two without maroon on, right enough, but we'll let them away with that!

“I think the supporters, speaking to a few people who went to the game, they arrived way before the game. Everybody just wanted to try and play their part, and I thought they did that brilliantly. And obviously we've got a big support going at the weekend again. We look forward to our home games, and we've got to look forward to this one as well on Saturday. They're a team who constantly test your organisation throughout the game. They can make little subtle tweaks and little different ways of playing that can maybe test your organisation. They will look a lot at how we press the game normally and they will try and counter that. I’m not the only opposition manager to sit down before you play Motherwell and say how well they've done.”
