They have a spring in their step
They can see improvements on and off the pitch and it has given them confidence that they are not afraid to make mistakes."Yes, we have made one or two but I feel everyone has come through a tough period and we are hopefully going to have a strong second part to the season where we can be in a position to have something to play for at the end of the season."Unbeaten Hearts moved 12 points clear of Rangers with a 2-0 win at Cowdenbeath on Tuesday - their 15th victory in 17 games.But head coach Robbie Neilson continues to focus on improvement and he is eager to enjoy a more successful trip to bottom club Livingston than the 4-1 League Cup defeat that a young Hearts side suffered in August."We have a huge game with Livingston now, and we're extremely keen to right the wrongs of the cup game we played there," Neilson said.Bottom of the table Livingston are without Brad Donaldson, who has an ankle injury, while Jason Talbot has a groin problem.Former Tynecastle striker Mark Burchill takes the West Lothian side for the second time as their interim manager after a 2-0 defeat from Rangers last weekend.Burchill said: "I was very encouraged by our performance at Ibrox
We created a good number of opportunities however we could not convert them however if we start doing that then we will win games."Hearts have been flying this season however we have to be positive and look to pick up the three points."
