PRESSLEY - WE'LL BE READY

Hearts captain Steven Pressley is certain his team-mates will be fresh again for next weekend's trip to Ibrox.

The Bank of Scotland Premier League leaders could only draw against Falkirk at Tynecastle on Saturday but the defender believes that was because the players were tired.

Hearts now face their toughest test yet against the Glasgow giants next week but Pressley believes they will be in good shape with many away with their countries this week.

He explained: "Many of us are going away on international duty for three or four days.

"The Scottish lads have a get together but no game which is great news because I think we merit a bit of relaxation.

"We will come back batteries recharged for a big game next week at Ibrox.

"The Hearts boys always talk about things but more than anything, it is an opportunity to relax and get away from the stresses of the club side for a few days and concentrate on the national team."
