Hearts head coach Derek McInnes anticipates a challenging match against Edinburgh rivals Hibs, which he considers could be their toughest game yet, as they strive to secure the Scottish Premiership title. With only five games remaining, the Jambos are currently one point ahead of Rangers at the top of the Scottish Premiership. McInnes expressed his delight with the team's performance, stating that the final few games will be decisive in the title race. He also acknowledged the determination of their rivals, particularly Hibs, who will be motivated to hinder Hearts' title aspirations.
The head coach noted that any Hearts-Hibs fixture is significant, regardless of the teams' league positions. McInnes also revealed that influential player Oisín McEntee will miss the remainder of the season due to a hamstring injury.
