Tony Docherty
“Hearts are a really good side with some fantastic players, and we know it will be a difficult game. We have had great games against Hearts this season. You have the 1-0 victory at home and the two 3-2 games, which were brilliant games of football. I like the way Naismith sets up his team, and he enjoys the way we play. It really serves up an enjoyable encounter with a good large travelling support. I am looking forward to it.”
Owen Dodgson
“We were all frustrated with the result last weekend. We’ve got to put it right, and so we need to have a positive performance on Saturday to pick up the three points. Our start to the game is very important. We need to get a quick start. Having played them three times already this season, we know how they play, and we know that they have threats. We have to be up for it from the get-go until the final whistle. That’s the most important thing.”
