Neilson Wants Hearts To Keep Going

Hearts head coach Robbie Neilson admitted winning had lost its edge following their title success after his side beat Raith Rovers 2-1 at Tynecastle. But he told his players to savour every victory ahead of their return to the Scottish Premiership, where three points will prove more difficult to attain. Neilson, who saw goals from Sam Nicholson and Soufian El Hassnaoui ensure Calum Elliot's strike was a mere consolation, said on his club's official website: Football is ultimately about winning games. We did what we had to do, after losing the derby match last weekend. I made a few changes, and the fresh players gave us a lift."The wheels can come off the tracks a bit when your season ends so early, it can be hard to get up for matches, so we're trying to drill personal targets and pride into the players' mentalities." Three months ago, we'd have been delighted with a 2-1 victory over Raith Rovers. Going for the title, every point is so vital, but we're a bit flat due to not hitting standards."The expectations are extremely high around the club, so the place is a bit down every after winning. In a way it's a good thing, but we still need to enjoy victories because we won't have as many next season.'' Queen of the South missed the chance to seal a play-off spot when they were held 2-2 against relegation-threatened Alloa. Two goals in two minutes early in the second half from Derek Lyle and Mark Millar put Queens on course after Ben Gordon had headed Alloa into a 40th-minute lead but Liam Buchanan levelled and Millar was then sent off for an off-the-ball clash.
