Dylan Tait
Curtains for Hearts?

Aberdeen 0-0 Queen's Park
A brief spell up the pitch for the visitors ends in Sean Welsh drilling a low half-volley at goal, but again goalkeeper Dimitar Mitov is fully behind it.

Hearts are clinging on here.
Ross MacIver finds space in behind the two centre-halves and gets away a shot that goalkeeper Craig Gordon does really well to save.

Falkirk 1-0 Heart of Midlothian
Hearts not as fluid since going behind. The passes aren't finding their mark and Falkirk have a determination to protect their lead.

Aberdeen 0-0 Queen's Park
Ester Sokler is lurking dangerously in the box and he gets two bites at the cherry but fluffs both of his shots before the ball is cleared.
