Jim Goodwin has been speaking to the media before Dundee United's trip to face Hearts on Sunday.

Here are the key lines from his press conference:

• United head to the capital in "good spirits after a really good result and performance up in Dingwall" that has all but secured a top-six place.
• The 1-0 win against Ross County was "really important" after the derby defeat to Dundee and Goodwin says his side were able to "iron out some of those issues".
• On the task at Tynecastle: "It's going to be a very tight one between two good teams, it's probably more of a must-win fixture for Hearts."
• Goodwin is hoping for a repeat after United won 1-0 on their previous visit to Hearts this season. He adds: "Tynecastle is one of the best away days in the league, the atmosphere tends to be good, it can be a very hostile venue in terms of the supporters."
• Goodwin praises his squad and says they've put themselves "in a really strong position" before the split.
• He hails captain Ross Docherty - who is out of contract this summer - for the "influence he has on the team" but says the midfielder's injury history has been a "major disappointment".
