Vblogger Thogden took a train to Edinburgh yesterday and captured the emotions of a dramatic twist in the SPFL Premiership. By daylight on Monday morning his video had been viewed almost 50,000 times.
Despite recording just two league wins all season there was a quiet confidence about Hearts as they hosted Steven Gerrard’s side for the second time this season.
Since drawing 1-1 at Tynecastle in October Hearts had lost 3-0 and 5-0 in Glasgow to the Ibrox club but with Daniel Stendal in charge and Liam Boyce signed from Burton Albion Hearts were a different proposition.
12 minutes 20 seconds for Hearts second goal
By the time the final whistle blew the fans around Thogden were ecstatic while those to his left were enduring that sinking feeling. Again. Reality made an unwelcome visit.
Steven Gerrard then threw his players under the bus, telling his club TV service that he had selected eight passengers for the match.
Tomorrow the upbeat spin will be applied as Gerrard faces the media to preview the home match with Ross County, or perhaps Gary McAllister will be called in?
