The first match of post-split action for both sides will come at Tannadice on Sunday with the fixture pushed back 24 hours thanks to Dundee hosting St Johnstone in a crucial bottom-six encounter the day before.
Stunning goals from Ellis Simms and Stephen Kingsley gave Robbie Neilson’s men a 2-0 lead before Chris Cadden quickly reduced the arrears. Shaun Maloney’s side cranked up the pressure in the second half, even after going down to ten men with Joe Newell’s red card, but Hearts were able to see it out.
The pain was etched across Chris Cadden’s face at the end of an absorbing Scottish Cup semi-final. For the second time in seven days, Hibs fell short against their Edinburgh rivals Hearts.
It feels like this is where many Hibs fans are at, following the Scottish Cup semi-final defeat by Hearts. Not because of the game or performance itself but because of the general feeling of apathy gripping the club.
Neilson and his assistants, Lee McCulloch and Gordon Forrest, are all on deals running through to summer 2023. Their work since returning to Tynecastle Park two years ago has transformed Hearts from a Championship team into one now preparing for European football.
Hearts supporters waited for Craig Gordon to collect Ryan Porteous’ 53rd-minute header after pushing it onto the post, praying that their physics-defying goalkeeper would rescue them once more. Hibs fans were similarly anxious that someone could prod the loose ball into the net with Gordon grounded.
Craig Gordon was the Hampden hero as he helped hand Hearts a return ticket to the national stadium with a flick of his wrist.
It wasn't an easy Scottish Cup semi-final win and Hibs can argue that they deserved more from proceedings given the way they raised their game and contested every ball.
