The club announced earlier on this season they would use the mickey mouse tournament as a road into Europe should they fail to qualify via the league.
However, the Jam Tarts have been in good form of late, and it seems the club want to focus fully on overhauling Aberdeen to secure a UEFA Cup berth via their final SPL position.
Interim Head Coach Anatoly Korobochka told Heartsfc.co.uk: "Our focus is fully on finishing 3rd in the SPL".
The Jambos face Rangers tomorrow at Ibrox in the opening SPL fixtures following the league split.
