Hearts’ 2-0 victory over Inverness on Tuesday moved the Tynecastle side to within six points of Aberdeen, before the Dons’ win at Tannadice on Wednesday evening restored the nine-point gap. With the Jambos sitting pretty in 3rd place, chasing Aberdeen in 2nd, it can be easy to forget that they spent last season in the Championship. With a tally of 91 points and only 3 league defeats in the whole campaign, Heart secured an immediate return to the top flight in a fashion few would’ve have expected prior to the beginning of last season.
So, why has Hearts’ boomerang between divisions been so seamless?
