Jambo flops need final-day redemption to make up for spineless display at Hampden

MAY 18: The final day of the Premiership season.
Every Hearts player should have that date circled on their calendar even if the visit of Rangers to Tynecastle will probably mean nothing in terms of my old team's final league position.
Why? Because it means everything to dealing with what is becoming a serious problem.
Five cracks at Rangers this season and five defeats is horrendous form made more baffling by the fact Hearts have beaten every other top-flight side, including Celtic home and away.
Sunday's spineless semi-final performance against Philippe Clement's side was maybe the most frustrating of all. We'll come to that in a minute.
But if I was in that Hearts team then I'd be praying the title fight between Rangers and Celtic goes down to that final day on May 18.
I'd be hoping Rangers are still in with a chance of winning it in Gorgie so that I could go out and dump them in a game that really meant something
To be brutally honest, even that would be too little too late.
But at least it would prove to everyone, not least the Hearts players themselves, that they can beat Rangers.
To have had five attempts and not even got a draw is woeful and I just can't understand it because this is a good Jambos side.
But they let themselves down in Sunday's semi-final. If they are man enough to take responsibility then they will admit that.
