Jefferies focused on bigger picture

Manager Jim Jefferies hopes his Hearts side will emerge as Edinburgh's top team on Sunday and come the end of the season. Sunday sees Hearts make the trip across the capital to Easter Road for the first Edinburgh derby of the Clydesdale Bank Premier League season. Jefferies returned for a second spell as Hearts boss in January and led them to two victories over Hibs. But Hibs finished fourth in the table, qualifying for what proved to be a short-lived sojourn into Europe, while Hearts finished sixth - a standing Jefferies, a Hearts fan and former player, wants to reverse this term. "We won the last couple of games but they finished above us," said Jefferies. "The most important thing for us is we finish where we want to finish this year and that's at the top end of the table."
