AS a Greek tragedy played out on Saturday, it was a Scottish Cup Final reality check that lifted the gloom.
Allow me to set the scene of a first foreign holiday in years and finding the smallest pub on the island to watch the game.
My Rangers daft father-in-law and I were the only guys in a boozer which had opened especially for us.
He was a happy man as his team lifted the trophy but what score would I give Hearts after signing off this season with a defeat at Hampden? 10 out of 10.
This is a club which was in the Championship last season and finished third in the Premiership at a canter.
There's so many positives. The recruitment has been on absolute point and that needs to continue. It needs to be slow and steady and as a club they need to continue what they've been doing.
Just continuing to prove they're the third biggest team in Scotland year in and year out will be a huge success.
Winning a trophy is the ultimate aim but defeat at the weekend shouldn't disguise the fact Hearts have had an amazing season.
