BERRA TERRAS HAVE HEART TO TAKE OUT HIBS.

Byline: By IAIN CAMPBELL 

CHRISTOPHE BERRA reckons Hearts have recaptured enough confidence to aim for a knock-out blow on city rivals Hibs next weekend.

While still not back to winning ways, the Tynecastle side have drawn their last two matches and their skipper reckons the elusive victory is coming.

He said: "Next week we've got to approach the game the same way we did against Motherwell.

"We have to come out the traps and put them under pressure and make them make mistakes.

If they do that and we get a two or three goal lead then hopefully we'll hold on and make the fans happy.

"I think we're playing better football and all our players are getting their confidence back."

Berra reckons that installing Stevie Frail as caretaker manager has helped and added:

"A few players did lose their confidence, but once you start playing well and doing the simple things right you'll get better and better, and hopefully we can take it on through the week and start looking to the Hibs game.

"Hibs had a great start to the season and we were patchy. We got better then obviously we went downhill.

"But we've got the individuals to push up this league. No disrespect to other teams, but we've got players here who are better than players at other teams but we have to keep more clean sheets."
