Derek McInnes is three games away from a first league title as manager

Derek McInnes believes anyone still questioning whether his Heart of Midlothian side have the courage to handle the heat of the Scottish title race has not been paying attention.

The Edinburgh side are currently three points clear of reigning champions Celtic at the top of the Premiership with just three games left of the campaign.

McInnes says that, after Monday's statement win that all but ended third-top Rangers' title hopes, they are in pole position and the mentality of the group is exactly where he expects it to be.

"I think anybody who actually questions the mentality now hasn't been watching us," the head coach said.
