Claudio Braga cannot believe the “crazy” position Hearts have put themselves in after Monday’s magnificent fightback win against Rangers put them one step closer to a stunning title triumph.
Derek McInnes’ side are three points clear of Celtic and seven clear of Rangers with three matches to play, starting with a trip to Motherwell on Saturday.
“It’s three games to go, it’s kind of crazy,” the PFA player of the year said.
“We were all in the locker room [after beating Rangers], everybody was looking at each other, like ‘it’s three games to go and we are still top of the league’.
“It’s not even easy to describe it with words, I’m not going to lie. It’s just a crazy feeling.”
There was a party atmosphere at Tynecastle after Monday’s win and they now have a club-record high points tally of 76
“It’s hard, I’m not going to lie, but we try to be as professional as we can,” Braga said, when asked about containing excitement levels.
“It’s been a long time that people [outside the dressing room] have been saying that maybe this could be possible.
“We’ve already had that [outside noise] and through the championship we have just taken it game by game. We dealt with Rangers, and now it’s Motherwell, and that’s it. We don’t care about Falkirk or Celtic for now, and hopefully we win that game, and then we go for the next one.”
