Claudio Braga believes an electric atmosphere at Tynecastle can help push the team forward on Sunday.
All eyes will be on Gorgie this weekend when the table-topping Jambos host Rangers.
Fresh off the back of two big wins, away to Celtic and Falkirk, Claudio heads into the fixture with goals in each of those two games.
The Portuguese forward is full of praise for the Hearts support who pack out games home and away, and he wants to get another positive result to send them home happy.
Speaking at his pre-match press conference, Claudio said: “I expect (the atmosphere) to be amazing. It’s been nothing to complain (about). I think more and more, the fans are backing us up, and that also feels good from the players.
“Hopefully they can keep doing that, even when we have these bumps…hopefully we don’t have that much!
“But it’s good to see that the atmosphere has been brilliant and we can get that help from them to help us win the game. That’s very important.
“I think it's a big difference when you have that backup. When we go playing away from home and we have more people than the teams that are playing at home, they make themselves listen a lot and that helps us.
“That gives us motivation and makes us think we need to fight for this also.”
