The club’s young talisman Stevie May scored an audacious chipped goal and spun off to the lower East Stand to milk the applause from young boys feverishly waving flags in a style more commonly seen at much bigger clubs in Italy or France. Apart from the period after Rangers scored they drowned out the usual utter garb that spews from the away end. I’m not in favour of assigned seats, especially for away games anyway, but nor am I going to stand my ground against a fellow Hearts man or woman who wants the seat they’ve paid for.

The visitors continued to dominate much of the ball and almost netted the opener midway through the first half. I felt last night for the first time, this pattern of defeats against the arse cheeks – coupled with the obvious corruption of the national game – has gone on for so long now, we may be near a tipping point in terms of generations that haven’t known anything else. I’ve stood in puddles of pish, broken up with girlfriends and spent far too much money all to watch HMFC.They’re so dominant on the telly and while they add to the atmosphere occasionally it just seems to be that if you can’t drum a song it’s not worth signing at games anymore. Breaking from the half-way line Van Veen had both subs in support before electing to play in Tierney 15 yards from goal.

We're just too slow in midfield, predictable with play and when we do have a chance to take a shot, it's rarely hit first time. As the Killie man fell to the ground the ball rebounded from O’Donnell, allowing Armstrong to get up and squeeze the ball past the ‘Well ‘keeper for an equaliser they probably deserved. They have grown up in Europe before Brexit, and can go online and join away-day web forums that feature bewildering clips of Italian ultras arriving in Rome like a hedonistic army, billowed in smoke, enlightened by fluorescent flares and carrying banners bigger than Caesar’s legions. Trying so hard to emulate European ultras, bless their cotton socks," a Tottenham fan wrote, before another added: "I find this lot so funny because they’ve only turned up when they were top of the league. Anyone who thinks the current fashion for ultra groups is in anyway comparable to the mayhem of the past has forgotten the facts.A Clarissa Larisey double, with further strikes from Caitlin Hayes, Chloe Craig, Jacynta and Lucy Ashworth-Clifford sealed a disappointing evening for the women of steel. I really struggle to get behind the Ultras approach to atmosphere that has zero relation to what is happening on the field. The flags and music of the ‘Ultras’ a few seasons back certainly made it more atmospheric and I know this has been mentioned before but can they be revived by the new younger element? Celtic had two years of wrangling with the Green Brigade, and Motherwell’s ultra-team, The Bois, had their moments of tension too.
