"But the likelihood is, if we're going to win the league, we're going to have to win two games or certainly pick up four points from the next two games.
"The team meeting will just be about this game and no distractions other than that. "Captain Lawrence Shankland - who scored the winner against Rangers and the equaliser against Motherwell in Hearts' past two matches - says the players must take confidence from their results to this point. "There will be nerves, it's totally normal when you're in this position," the Scotland striker said.
