Robbie Neilson is giddy at the thought of walking out to a sold out Tynecastle on Sunday as his team get set to face Aberdeen.
Hearts take on Stephen Glass' team with both sides in exceptional form so far this season.
They have each won their opening two matches and sit behind only Hibs, who have a superior goal difference.
Both Hearts and the Dons have ambitions of retaking third spot from the Hibees - and perhaps even better than that if they can sustain their form for the season.
Neilson, however, is taking things one step at a time and for now he is just looking forward to seeing Tynecastle back at its full capacity.
He ranks a clash with Aberdeen as up there with Hibs, Celtic and Rangers - and can't wait to hear the Hearts fans in full voice for such a huge game.
"I am just desperate to see the full house, it will be brilliant to have that atmosphere in the stadium," he said. "It's been a long, long time.
"It's a great game to be involved in, Aberdeen are flying high at the moment like we are.
"It's two teams that are coming to win the game. It's going to be a great atmosphere and I'm looking forward to it.
"Obviously Rangers, Celtic, Hibs are massive games for us but Aberdeen is in that same context as well."
