Similarly, if we're three goals ahead near the end of injury time, it should be all out attack for a fourth (Schwolow up for a corner etc) since conceding would be irrelevant. But if we're two or four ahead, the ball would (or should) be kept in the corner in the same scenario

[Scott McLeish | Hearts Stats @heartsstats]

There are some interesting game management scenarios for tomorrow's game.

Us drawing is exactly the same as us losing by one or two, so I expect a very attacking team. But if we go two behind late on, it may be more important to avoid conceding again if the Celtic game is close

Last night's result means, for the first time ever, we will end the season with the better head-to-head record against every team we've faced across all competitions

🏆 | First time in 10 years that the fans and players have named a different Player of the Year, and that either award has been won by a non-Scot

100 - Cameron Devlin has made 100 tackles this @spfl season, at least 28 more than any other player in the competition. Wrap.

@HMFC_Ollie Gameweek 22 (the one in the image!)

[Scott McLeish | Hearts Stats @heartsstats]

Another weekend where one of the top three drop points. There's only been one weekend all season where all three have won

[Alba Analytics @Alba_Analytics]

📊I didn't think anyone could fill Cammy Devlin's shoes when he was ruled out for 6-8 weeks in January - then Marc Leonard came along.

The Birmingham City loanee has slotted seamlessly into that Hearts midfield, filling a void I'm not sure many could.

He might not provide the energy or cover the ground that Devlin does, but he certainly gets stuck in - ranking in the top 3% for tackles, interceptions, and % of ground duels won.

On the ball he's very intelligent, capable of picking a pass and looks to progress the ball forward whenever possible - often taking more risks resulting in a poorer pass accuracy %.

All round he's been an excellent addition to Hearts, and surely should be pushing for a permanent deal, especially when he's still only 24.

Thoughts, Jambos? #hmfc

@JimJimdoc He did, not in the top flight though 👍

[Scott McLeish | Hearts Stats @heartsstats]

Today's appearance made Craig Gordon the oldest player (43y 11d) to play in the Scottish top-flight in the SPL/SPFL era. The previous oldest was Andy Millen for St Mirren (42y 279d). He may be the oldest ever, I can't find anyone older, but hard to say for definite

[A Funny Old Game @sid_lambert]

43 years old.

Summoned from the bench after the first-choice keeper is sent off.

Makes this stunning save in injury time to preserve a precious 1-0 win.

Treat yourself to a cigar, Craig Gordon. You’ve earned it old son.

[Concept Scouting @ConceptScouting]

A really exciting signing. He’ll do very well.
