Rudi Skacel scored twice as Hearts secured their place in the SPL's top six with victory over fellow Scottish Cup semi-finalists Aberdeen at Tynecastle.
The defender Ryan McGowan headed in a Danny Grainger corner from close range to put Hearts in front after 27 minutes to give the home side a half-time advantage.
The home goalkeeper Jamie MacDonald was merely a spectator for much of the opening 45 minutes against a blunt Dons attack and Skacel scored with a left-foot strike from 25 yards after 53 minutes to double the lead.
Paulo Sérgio felt comfortable enough with his side's lead to take off Ian Black 22 minutes from time. The key midfielder has been nursing a hernia injury and was replaced by Suso Santana, who soon had an impact as his run at goal led to muted appeals for a Hearts penalty. Russell Anderson came on for the final 14 minutes, making his first Dons appearance since departing for Sunderland in 2007.
Scott Vernon shot over on the turn from close range before Hearts netted an 89th-minute third after the Dons failed to clear and Skacel pounced to seal victory. The win ensured sixth-placed Hearts could not be caught by Kilmarnock, whose loss in Paisley enabled St Mirren to knock the Dons down to ninth

Re: R. McGowan....
He has had a fantastic season, might be hard for Hearts to hold on to him next season, surely he would have gained interest of English clubs or even Celtic.
Re: R. McGowan....
he is a celtic fan and has played well against us this year, plus i rate him higher than loovens and k wilson
