Hearts: Sir Alex Ferguson, ‘unbelievable’ Claudio Braga & Tynecastle keep hosts on course for title

Former Hearts player Ryan Stevenson was on pundit duty as part of BBC Radio Scotland’s Sportsound commentary and echoed Braga and McInnes’ sentiments.

“The atmosphere is incredible,” he said. “What you wouldn’t give to be a player on that field right now,” he said.

And afterwards he said: “I think Hearts will win the league. I really do.

“I can’t see Hearts collapsing. I can’t see Hearts losing three or four games.

“I can’t see Hearts losing the championship anymore.”

Rangers sit second, two points above Celtic who have a game in hand. These two teams meet at Ibrox on Sunday and one way or another, Hearts’ seven-point advantage will be reduced by the end of the weekend.

And Celtic travel to Aberdeen on Wednesday to play their game.

Studio expert, former Hearts player Michael Stewart, agrees with Stevenson.

“I think there’s an extra level of pressure with every game that ends, but equally there’s an extra level of belief. “They’re almost going against each other.

“They are the ones sitting at the top of the table and they deserve it.”
