Jonsson hoping for home comforts
Hearts midfielder Eggert Jonsson wants to make Tynecastle a fortress once more as they prepare for Sunday's visit of Dundee United.
The Edinburgh outfit won nine of their 19 home games in last season's disappointing sixth-place finish in the Clydesdale Bank Premier League and the Iceland international reckons a trip to the capital was less daunting than it used to be.
Hearts are looking to build on the momentum of their impressive start to the season. After drawing with St Johnstone on the opening day, they overcame Hamilton 4-0 last weekend before scoring four more against Third Division side Elgin in the Co-operative Insurance Cup on Tuesday night.
Hearts are keen to get back into Europe this season and Jonsson reckons they need to make the most of home advantage.
He said: "We are only three games into the season so it's too early to say, but we want to be hard to beat and make Tynecastle a fortress like it used to be.
"Sometimes we didn't manage to do that last season. Jim Jefferies came in as the new manager and the team is now set up the way he wants. Now I think we're going to be more hard to beat and hopefully we can use our home advantage with the fans to make it a hard place to come."
