"Hearts came from 3-0 down at home to Motherwell to rescue a point, marking the first time they'd pulled off such an act of escapology in the league since 1969."
"Hearts have been top of the league since the first week of October, a piece of front-running not seen by a non-Old Firm club since Alex Ferguson was in his pomp at Aberdeen."
"They are unbeaten in their Tynecastle fortress - played 17, won 13, drawn four, 10 clean sheets, 32 goals scored and only 10 conceded."
"If they avoid defeat against Rangers on Monday and against Falkirk on 13 May then they'll have completed an unbeaten home league season for the first time in 40 years."
Hearts staged a remarkable comeback from 3-0 down against Motherwell, marking the beginning of a historic league season. They have maintained the top position since October, achieving milestones such as being the only non-Old Firm team at Christmas since 1993. Hearts defeated Celtic and Rangers twice in a season for the first time since 1994-95 and won four consecutive matches against them for the first time since 1959-60. They remain unbeaten at home, with a chance to complete an unbeaten home league season for the first time in 40 years.
