Hearts defender John Souttar will focus on the Ladbrokes Premiership table more than their Ibrox defeat during the international break.

Souttar vowed to learn from the 3-1 defeat against Rangers on Sunday as an early collapse ensured Hearts suffered their first defeat of the season.

A botched offside trap led to Ryan Kent's early opener and Rangers goalkeeper Allan McGregor made two great saves before Alfredo Morelos doubled Rangers' lead in the 13th minute after more sloppy play at the back from Hearts.

Souttar said: "Obviously the first 20 minutes killed us. I thought in spells we did well and had chances but you can't go to Ibrox and do what we did. But we will learn from it.

"We have kept a few clean sheets this year and been defensively solid and the first goal is one of these things. We've done it five times this year and it's worked. Last year as well.

"But we will learn from it. We are still top of the league so we've got to take the positives, we can't dwell on it too much.

"It's important to remember we are top of the league. We have started the season really well. Of course it's fresh in people's minds and everyone will be remembering it but it's important us as a group remember how well we have done to get in the position we are."
