Heart of Midlothian FC have a long history in European competition stretching back to the 1950s, with tonight's crunch 2nd leg Europa League play-off match versus FC Zurich at Tynecastle Park being their 82nd competitive bout against continental opposition.
In that time, the Gorgie boys have managed 30 wins and 18 draws, and have tasted defeat on 33 occasions, the most recent being last week's 2-1 reversal in Switzerland.
But the team can take inspiration from the fact that Hearts have notched up many massive European results down the decades, including a number of sensational victories over Europe's elite.
