After 10 months of speculation about Hearts’ capacity to go the distance, we now have our answer. There’s been no implosion, as some fans of the big two from Glasgow predicted. They haven’t gone away, the pressure has not got to them.
After 37 games they remain the best team in the country.
The Hearts captain, Lawrence Shankland, might have been seething about the late events at Fir Park, but for the microphones he stayed focused on the big prize.
“It’s a 90-minute cup final,” he said, before reminding everyone that Hearts have already beaten Celtic home and away this season. “We’d have taken this situation at the start of the season. We’d have bitten your hand off for it.”
On a night of bewilderment, that was the unarguable truth. Hearts still have this in their own hands. Thirty-seven games have been negotiated with just one more to go. The toughest one against the hardest opponent in their own backyard.
It’s the one that could make them live forever in a footballing sense or the one that will make them join the Hearts boys of 1986 and 1965, denied on the final day. Heroes, almost.
Celtic will be waiting for them. Those Celtic fans will shake the ground under their feet. Somehow it was fitting that it came to this. A massive stage for a game of the greatest significance.
