The Tynecastle duo are both fighting for a spot in Steve Clarke's squad this summer.
Steven Naismith will consider looking after his No.1s in a bid to land a unique goalkeeping double at the Euros.
“From the different circumstances of Craigy being a long-term injury to coming back at a certain time, they’ve pushed each other, and that’s been the drive. The way it’s played out, Craigy had to show he was back. “They’ve both given themselves a chance of being in the squad. The fact they were both picked for the last squad shows the manager wants to understand where they both are and that they’re both in his plans. The brutal part of football is when squads are announced there are only so many who can go. There’s losers as well as winners.
He said: “I think we can hit 70 points, that’s something we’ve talked about. I’m not going to make it a target but I think it’s realistic that we could do it.
