Andy Halliday has fired a 'far from impossible' message in Hearts' pursuit of third.
The Jambos have been on a horrendous run of results with Saturday's defeat to Hibs at Easter Road making it five Premiership defeats on the spin. Robbie Neilson was axed following the Tynecastle defeat to St Mirren with interim boss Steven Naismith suffering a loss in his first game in the Edinburgh derby.
In a real contrast of form, Aberdeen have picked up six wins on the bounce in the league to leapfrog the Gorgie men and open up a five point gap with just six games to play. The duo will go head to head once again this season. Finishing best of the rest will guarantee European group stage football next season should Rangers or Celtic lift the Scottish Cup - with the winner of the semi-final tie going into the final as huge favourites against one of Falkirk or Inverness.
