Beau Reus produced a breathtaking performance between the posts, making two crucial penalty saves to send Hearts into the UEFA Conference League league phase.
The Jambos had to overcome the heartbreak of playing with ten men following Tomas Magnusson's sending-off, yet they somehow saw off Rapid Vienna in a dramatic shoot-out on Austrian soil after the tie had finished level on 4-4 across the two legs.
Reus' heroics ensured Hearts book their return to Europe's third-tier competition, completing a remarkable escape act that will go down as one of the most gripping moments in the club's recent history.
