Hearts suffered a big defeat in Florence to round off a horror week for Scottish sides in European competition.
It was a major case of déjà vu for the Jambos as Luka Jovic headed Fiorentina in front with less than five minutes on the clock - just like they did at Tynecastle exactly seven days ago. This time the goal came straight after Stephen Humphrys had crashed an effort off the post with just 30 seconds played. Cristiano Biraghi, Nicolas Gonzalez and Antonin Barak grabbed the other goals as the Serie A side raced into a 4-0 half-time lead.
Humphrys sent the travelling fans wild with a tidy finish just one minute into the second half to reward the thousands of supporters who remained in full voice throughout the Europa Conference League clash in Italy. The hosts wouldn't be denied in the second period with Alex Cochrane penalised for a foul in the box. Gonzalez made no mistake as he sent Craig Gordon the wrong way from the penalty spot.
