Hearts captain Craig Gordon has urged his Tynecastle team-mates to cap a dream week for him on a personal and professional level by beating Rangers on Saturday.
The Jambos No. 1 produced a trio of terrific performances for Scotland while welcoming baby boy Axel into the world during the international break, and is now back in Edinburgh focusing on the lunchtime visit of Gers for a match that could see Hearts leapfrog Gio van Bronckhorst 's side with a two-goal win.
With Hearts just three points behind their opponents, Gordon admitted he has been delighted at the manner in which Hearts have juggled Europa Conference League football - they welcome Serie A giants Fiorentina to Tynecastle on Thursday, with domestic duties successfully enough to have moved the side from the capital into third place in the Premiership - and now he would love Robbie Neilson's men to go one better."It's a big game and at home we always feel we've got a chance in these big games.
It's one to look forward to and really go and have a go and try to win the match," Gordon told Sky Sports.
