"Four more goals, three more points and now nine clear at the top of the Scottish Premiership - perhaps Hearts chief executive Andrew McKinlay was right when he blithely said "we will win the league" before Dundee's visit. He did qualify that claim by stating it might not be this season - rather one further in the future - but, with every game that goes by, the Tynecastle side are enhancing their credentials to break the Old Firm's title duopoly."
"Head coach Derek McInnes was more reserved, simply stating that completing a quarter of the league season in such a healthy position was "a good reference point". Hearts were fortunate to escape Paisley with a point on Wednesday, a result which allowed Celtic to narrow the gap to six. But his side took advantage of the reigning champions being on League Cup duty this weekend to extend their lead with a 4-0 win over Dundee."
Hearts sit nine points clear at the top of the Scottish Premiership after a 4-0 victory over Dundee. Andrew McKinlay said "we will win the league" but qualified that it might not be this season. Derek McInnes described completing a quarter of the season in such a healthy position as "a good reference point". A point at St Mirren on Wednesday became more valuable after the win while Celtic were on League Cup duty. Hearts have 29 points from 11 games, are undefeated in their last 15 Premiership matches, and have scored in each of those games.
