""I've said there is more to come from us," the Hearts head coach told BBC Scotland. "Our fight is with ourselves and we're not getting caught up in what others are doing or saying. "Whether they think we're capable or not. We are quietly confident we are good enough to win games. But today is another example that every game is hard fought. "We had 12 wins and two defeats from the first 19 games and we have spoken long and hard about the need to improve on that.""
""It was a lovely cross for Halkett," McInnes said. "He had some good moments and we tried to play him higher on that side and get switches of play and he held his position really well.""
Hearts beat Livingston at Tynecastle with a single Craig Halkett goal, moving six points clear at the top of the Scottish Premiership. Derek McInnes said the team has more to offer despite collecting 12 wins and two defeats from the first 19 games. McInnes emphasized internal standards, quiet confidence and the difficulty of every match. The club strengthened a longstanding right-back problem by signing Dutchman Jordi Altena from Waalwijk during the winter window. Altena debuted in the first game of 2026, delivered the cross for the winner and created further chances, immediately improving balance on the right.
