This would have been a wildly frustrating night for Hearts fans and staff alike.

Once again, they were up against a team in Europe that seemed entirely beatable. Yet, the answer to the enigma seemed ungraspable for the players on the pitch.

Another low-block that Hearts struggled to break down, more vulnerable defending. It has all become far too common a sight for Hearts fans this season.

Forrest was particularly guilty for his part in Dinamo’s goal. Barrie McKay had one of his worst nights in a Hearts shirt.

But interim head coach Liam Fox has once again produced a positive result in the dying seconds. Be it luck or an extra little bit of belief, Hearts have pulled a rabbit out of the hat in the last few seconds for the second game running.

Can they do it at Aberdeen on Sunday? The history book suggests not.

The international break after that game comes at a good time and having a permanent manager appointed when league football returns in late October is essential.
