Rangers 2 Hearts 2 as battle for third over as big derby decides fourth spot - 3 things we learned

Hearts' hopes of finishing third are OVER despite a last gasp draw at Ibrox coupled up with an Aberdeen win.

The Jambos made the perfect start with Lawrence Shankand on the scoresheet after just one minute following a VAR review. It was a dream beginning for Steven Naismith and the travelling support as they took the game to the Light Blues in the early stages. Zander Clark was called upon to make a number of fine saves but was unable to deny Todd Cantwell after a tidy finish.

That goal right on half-time came as a major blow and just moments into the second period an error from Toby Sibbick was punished by Fashion Sakala to turn the game on its head but Garang Kuol netted with the final kick of the game to share the spoils. Hibs' victory over Celtic means a huge Edinburgh derby awaits this weekend with just two points separating the duo in the table. Fourth spot is guaranteed a crack at Europa Conference League qualifiers while fifth is likely to join with the Hoops overwhelming favourites to lift the Scottish Cup. Hearts just need to avoid defeat to finish top dogs in the capital in an exciting final day showdown in Gorgie.
