Hearts will be playing in Europe next year after a clinging on for a draw in the Edinburgh derby.
The Jambos survived an onslaught with ten men to secure the chance to take on the continent after a fierce contest at Tynecastle which finished 1-1. The fourth placed shootout saw Hibs arrive at the home of their bitter rivals knowing that a win could topple their neighbours and pile on the agony after they lost out to third midweek.
Hearts looked a certainty to retain their crown as best of the rest as they sat 11 points clear. But a run of poor results saw manager Robbie Neilson sacked and a resurgent Aberdeen swept past their rivals to claim the Europa League play-off spot and guaranteed group stage football parachute - should Celtic lift the Scottish Cup next week.
