The Jambos suffered heartache during their last visit to Ibrox in October but are in a different place now
Hearts are seeking retribution against Rangers, according to Cammy Devlin, following their heartbreaking October stoppage-time loss.
Prior to James Tavernier’s double in the last seconds saving the day for the home team, the Jambos were headed for an unprecedented triumph at Ibrox. After four months, Steven Naismith’s team has changed drastically, winning 11 of their last 12 games. With a commanding 14-point advantage over Kilmarnock in third place, the Tynecastle club now has a tantalising triple-header against Rangers, Hibs, and Celtic.
And Aussie midfielder Devlin is confident the Jam Tarts can beat anyone as they look to close the gap on the Old Firm.
“We were very close to getting a result at Ibrox last time,” he stated. Our focus will be on getting there and improving every step along the way. It’s been amazing since Steven Naismith took over as gaffer. As it’s a project, quality work requires time. It takes time for the lessons they have been instilling in us as players to truly materialise.
“I think the team’s resiliency is really strong right now, though. I believe the substitutes who have replaced me during my two-month absence have had a significant impact. We’ve scored a lot of goals in the second half.
“The guys are defying gravity, and those are the messages from above. Additionally, while the season is still ongoing, it’s important to avoid becoming complacent. There is still a long way to go and we haven’t done anything yet.
We’re at a good place right now, but we need to move on and not just sit there and be happy because it could lead to other problems. We witnessed the events of the previous year, but now is the time to seize the opportunity and widen the gap as much as possible.”
