Hearts boss Jefferies hopes to wrap up third place

Hearts boss Jim Jefferies is eager to wrap up third-place as quickly as possible after victory over Dundee United.

Marius Zaliukas grabbed what proved to be the winner with two minutes to go after Rudi Skacel cancelled out Barry Douglas' early opener.

Jefferies said: "We are only two or three wins from getting third place. We are not there yet and we can't take anything for granted.

"We've never gone shouting about trying to get second place. If we get third place, we will see where we are after that.

"We'll have a go, that's all we can do. We set out to try and have a good season and that's what we are doing. We just want to get third wrapped up as soon as possible."
