Jefferies warns against complacency
Jim Jefferies knows Hearts' form does not guarantee progress in the Scottish Cup even with a strong performance against St Johnstone at Tynecastle.
The Hearts boss has overseen a run of eight wins and a draw - 1-1 at home to Inverness, who lost 1-0 to Saints last weekend - in the last nine which has seen his side firmly established behind Celtic and Rangers in third place in the Clydesdale Bank Premier League.
Jefferies said: "One of our best performances of this run was against Inverness, the team were great, but we didn't win.
"That's what can happen in a cup tie as well. If it does happen in a cup tie you could be out.
"I don't think we can be any better confidence-wise and belief-wise than we are at the moment.
"The other objective was to have a really good cup run and hopefully at the end of that, if the breaks go your way and the draws go your way, you can get a result."
