FRUSTRATED Macaulay Tait admits his error finally killed off Hearts' Scottish Cup dream.
And flattened Frankie Kent confessed to feeling gutted and annoyed at the "crappy" goals that brought about the same old story in his side's semi-final demise.
Tynecastle teenager Tait insists the slip that led to Rangers' clinching second goal has made him determined to get straight back to Hampden next term.
Steven Naismith's side were still fighting for an equaliser at 1-0 down when Tait lost possession.
Todd Cantwell surged clear with the ball and supplied Cyriel Dessers to hit his second goal and leave Hearts floored and ruin the 18-year-old's big day. Tait said: "It was disappointing.
"It was my mistake that probably killed the tie, which is a frustrating one.
"It was my first competitive game at Hampden. I played in the Youth Cup final a few years ago. It was a good occasion and it was great to see so many Hearts fans there as well. But the result was disappointing.
"I've been in the Hearts end as a fan in these types of games quite a lot. They have been mixed games but this was a frustrating one.
"I don't remember much of the Cup Final in 2012 but I remember it being a really good win. I'm disappointed that we didn't win but it's another milestone ticked off.
