IT'S TIME FOR GAME PLAN B

Claudio admits chasing pack have got wise so it's on Hearts to find new ways of getting back to winning

- BY GORDON PARKS

CLAUDIO BRAGA says Hearts need to come up with some countermeasures to get the better of clubs who have their number.

The striker accepts his team's barnstorming start to the campaign has had the chasing pack dissecting the strategy used by Derek McInnes’ side in a bid to pull the blueprint apart.

A two-point lead over Celtic at the summit will go on the line at home to Kilmarnock tonight.

And Braga believes it's time for the Jambos to throw a few curve balls to break a run of one win in their last five outings.

He said: “The position of where we are in the league has clubs looking at us a bit more and studying us a bit more to see if they can find ways to break us.

“It’s not only good things about being in this position, there are tough things - and one of them is that.

“Teams are going to be more compact and waiting for us.
