Livingston boss Gary Holt has called on his team to embrace the challenge of taking on Hearts at Tynecastle as they prepare for this evening's Premiership clash.
The Lions have just one win in 12 fixtures but sit above the beleaguered Edinburgh outfit with Hearts.
He said: “They’re all tough games for us. People say particular games are tough but I love the fact that they all are.
“We know where we’re at and the size of club that we are. We want to keep progressing and building but we can’t go willy-nilly and end up going bust because that’s suicidal.
“Every game at this level is brilliant for us. We embrace it as a tough challenge but we have absolutely no fear going into games because we want to win.”
He added: “It's Tynecastle against Hearts, it's a big crowd on a great pitch. Who wouldn’t want to play in big games like that? It’s like a kid in a candy shop so go out and enjoy it.
“Go and run about and play football with a smile on your face and try your best.
“I’ve always said the only guarantee they can give me is to work hard. That’s a God given talent.
“You can’t guarantee me goals or that you’ll win every header but if you can guarantee me 11 men on the pitch who will be giving their all — brilliant. Within that, you’ll get results.
“And that’s all we can ask for every time they play.”
