“We knew it was going to be difficult coming here.

“There was more hype about this than other games apart from maybe Celtic. To go in at half-time three goals up showed how good the performance was, we defended well and did well on the counter-attack too.

“The last couple of seasons that Hearts have been in the league it’s always been a difficult place to come to, it’s always a good atmosphere here and that probably gave us another bounce in our step. We look forward to these big games and big occasions and thankfully we done the damage.

“Personally I am delighted with the two assists and the goal but I thought it was a great team performance from Danny Ward all the way through to Goodwillie who was outstanding today.

“I am delighted for him too to come in and get his goals, now we dust ourselves down and look forward to Wednesday night.

“There have been questions asked but we have kept answering them.

“We just want to improve every season and we have had a great start but it’s a long season. We have a great squad here now and the games are coming thick and fast so it’s just about recovering now and looking forward to Wednesday night.

“For us it’s new that we have got this run going at this stage of the season but we know that if we concentrate on each game we have got the squad to keep on winning. We will just keep taking each game as it comes.

“There is no point talking about winning things now but if we find ourselves there in March/April we will talk about it then. We are just concentrating on ourselves and winning as many games as possible, we will see where that takes us.”
