The TV broadcasters should hang their heads in shame at failing to stick this on the box. Heck, this Battle of Tynecastle should have been shown on pay-per-view on the boxing channels or the big screen at the Showcase.
We knew we had a fight for fourth. We didn’t know these two would take it so literally. This was 106 minutes of eye-watering drama – and then a massive barney at the end to top it off. You know you are dealing with a mad afternoon when there’s a 30 man Royal Rumble, punches being lobbed and even a flying hot water bottle being thrown like a grenade. It’s just a shame there wasn’t a wider audience to revel in the nonsense. Their loss.
Hearts hung on for a point and to fourth spot in the end. Hibs lost out and then lost the plot. The Jambos had to do so with 10 men after Alex Cochrane’s first half VAR triggered red card which helped Hibs ace Kevin Nisbet cancel out Yutaro Uda’s sweet opener.
