Hearts charged into third place in the Clydesdale Bank Premier League with last weekend's stunning 5-2 triumph over St Mirren - and are determined to remain there.

Paulo Sergio's side overcame the early loss of the red-carded Marius Zaliukas against the Buddies to run out emphatic victors, the three points seeing the Jambos record a sixth successive game without defeat and leapfrog Motherwell in the table.

Midfielder Adrian Mrowiec has been a key performer in the impressive run and today underlined Hearts' desire to keep up the good work.

"This is an important game for us this weekend as the last time we were there we didn't manage to beat them," he said at today's pre-match press conference for the broadcast media at Riccarton.

"We are professionals and focused on the football. We want to keep third place now - that is our target."

Adrian slotted back into the centre half position against St Mirren after the dismissal of his skipper although he remains unsure what the manager may have in store for Inverness.

"We will wait and see what happens," he added. "Ryan McGowan is back from suspension and Darren Barr is also available."
