Jefferies sets Hearts on Parkhead win
Hearts take their unbeaten Clydesdale Bank Premier League record to Celtic at the end of a week which has seen Lee Wallace ruled out by injury and the saga of Marius Zaliukas' future continue.
Wallace is set to see a specialist about the torn posterior cruciate knee ligament he suffered on international duty with Scotland and Zaliukas, who is out with a knee problem, remains the subject of discussions between his parent club FBK Kaunas and Hearts.
Celtic have won all three of their SPL fixtures thus far, netting six goals in the process, while Hearts beat Hamilton and drew with St Johnstone and Dundee United prior to the international break.
Jefferies knows Hearts will have to be at their best to emerge from Parkhead with their unbeaten record intact.
"It will be a tough game," he said. "I've heard that the last time they played there they were on fire (beating St Mirren 4-0). They've had a couple of good victories there and they've got some good players who I think will get better and better.
"We've got to go there and be as positive as we can. We're not going to sit back - I think that's asking for trouble. We'll make sure we're well organised, tight, hopefully create a few chances and, more importantly, take them."
