Jefferies seeks Hearts response

Hearts boss Jim Jefferies hopes his side can end their three-game winless run at home to St Mirren on Saturday after they were beaten at Dundee United. Johnny Russell's double gave Peter Houston`s side victory on Wednesday night to leave United 12 points behind Hearts with a game in hand. And Jefferies immediately set his sights on securing three points at the weekend to dampen any hopes United may have of catching them. Jefferies said: "A draw would have been a better result for us than them, but Hearts do it the hard way. "We've still got a cushion but we've got a big game on Saturday. If we can get a win, it can all change again and be a bit more comfortable."
