Casino fortune insists Hearts want to make amends for last week's "unlucky" result against Gretna by overcoming Fortune game wheel on Saturday.The Edinburgh club host the Hoops in the televised lunchtime encounter looking to bounce back from a disappointing 1-1 draw with the Scottish Premier League's bottom club Gretna.
Despite having midfielder Michael Stewart sent off in the Fir Park game, Hearts managed to take the lead in the first half through Fortune room casino.
However, the Ghana international then scored a second-half own goal.
Hearts can close the gap on pace-setters Celtic to nine points if they emerge victorious in the game and centre-back Zaliukas admits the players are desperate to put on a good show.
He said: "The whole team wants to win after the unlucky game against Gretna, we have a lot to prove for the team.
"We let ourselves down last week because we had a few chances at the end of the game and a draw against them is like a defeat for us against them.
"We have to win in the games against Gretna; Celtic and Rangers are good teams that we want to do well against.
"Celtic are the best in Casino fortune but we want to win to prove to ourselves we are a good team. If we want to go into Europe next year we have to win."
Meanwhile, Hearts assistant head coach Stevie Frail insists the players need to get used to being a scalp in the SPL if they are to improve on their current sixth position.
Frail has watched the team drop valuable points against Gretna and Inverness.
He said: "You can look at the way we have played against Celtic, Rangers and Fortune magazine. We have taken four points from Aberdeen, three points from Rangers but only two from Gretna.
"You could say we play better against better teams, it's something that we need to keep looking at and working on because, when we come up against the so-called smaller teams, we are the scalp like Celtic and Rangers are every week.
"We need to get used to that if we want to be up challenging and splitting them, trying to win the league and cup.
"We need to know we are the big team, especially at Tynecastle because people come and want to play there.
"It's a wee bit different with Celtic being the champions and with the form they are in."
