Hearts are making waves this season under the guidance of head coach Derek McInnes, who is confident in their ability to secure silverware. The Tynecastle side has started the season with six consecutive wins across the Scottish League Cup and the Premiership, positioning themselves at the top of the league table.

McInnes emphasized the importance of setting high ambitions, stating, "There's nothing wrong with setting lofty ambitions and seeing the endgame. We've got to try to imagine that day at Hampden." The team is focused on their upcoming match against St Mirren, with McInnes highlighting the importance of maintaining high expectations.

With new investor Tony Bloom's backing, Hearts have revamped their squad, and McInnes has made it clear that every player should aspire to win trophies. "I've said this to them a few times. There's not one player should have signed for Hearts without having that aspiration to win a trophy here," McInnes said.

Hearts last won a major honor in 2012, and the League Cup has eluded them since 1963. McInnes is determined to end this drought, expressing his belief in the team's capabilities. "We do believe we're good enough to go the full way and there's no point believing otherwise," he said.

Despite their strong start, McInnes remains grounded, acknowledging that the team has not yet achieved anything beyond expectations. "We've not done anything I wouldn't have expected of us. It's not as if we're ripping up trees and doing things we weren't expecting of ourselves," he noted.

As Hearts continue their campaign, McInnes urges the team to stay focused and work hard, aiming to see where their efforts will take them. The journey for silverware is just beginning, and Hearts are ready to embrace the challenge.
