HEARTS chief executive Andrew McKinlay has vowed that the Jambos' title charge will not be a one-off.

The Gorgie side head to Celtic Park on Sunday sitting proudly atop the Premiership on goal difference ahead of the reigning champions.

Hearts were nine clear at one point following a blistering start under new boss Derek McInnes, but a run of just one win in seven has seen the Bhoys wipe out that gap.

New investor Tony Bloom lit the blue touch paper at the start of the season by admitting he would be disappointed if Hearts did not win the league within the next decade with the help of his Jamestown Analytics.

And McKinlay is adamant that what the fans have seen so far this season is only a taste of what's to come.
