We had a strong performance against Hearts and got a good result (4-2). Then we played 50, 55 minutes against a strong Celtic side but we didn&#8217;t get the result we wanted (2-2).\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe played away against Livingston and it was a game where we had a lot of chances, but we couldn&#8217;t snatch the win (2-2).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt home we played over 120 minutes and performed well, but we didn&#8217;t get the result. And now we had one game where we didn&#8217;t perform at the highest level, but we got the result.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You think it&#8217;s complicated. Of course, my hope is that we achieve performance and results together. Then I think it will be difficult to stop us.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe important thing is that we go into the international break with three points and then play two more games before going into the split.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Time is running out and there are only a few games left.
