Robbie Neilson paid tribute to the Hearts fans after they roared the Jambos to a 2-1 Scottish Cup semi-final win over Hibernian at Hampden Park on Saturday.
The former Gorgie defender returned to Tynecastle for his second spell as boss in June 2020, after the Edinburgh club had been controversially relegated to the Scottish Championship when the 2019-20 season was curtailed due to Covid-19.
Hearts returned to the top flight as champions at the end of last season and, having guaranteed themselves a third-place finish, they are now 90 minutes away from a first Scottish Cup final win since 2012.
