Before Aberdeen and Hearts complete their season on Sunday, there's the not so small matter of a Premiership play-off decider tomorrow evening.
Aberdeen manager Derek McInnes
"The goal was a poor goal that separates the teams. We should do better at the goal, the keeper should do better. Hearts then have something to hold on to. I can't be critical of the team. They've done well this year."
Hearts head coach Robbie Neilson
"It was a tough game. Two good teams coming together and we're pleased to send our fans home happy. Big games like this are usually won by mistakes. Pleasing that we managed to get the goal."
