Hearts fans have had little to cheer about this season but the performance at Rugby Park against Kilmarnock as the Jambo slid to an embarrassing 3-0 defeat has led to a huge outpouring of anger on Twitter.

Three first-half goals – all coming in the opening sixteen minutes – left Austin MacPhee’s side with a huge mountain to climb as Killie were a class above throughout.

With the Tynecastle side still looking for a manager after Craig Levein’s sacking, the result won’t do much to help MacPhee’s chances of landing the role on a permanent basis.

The result leaves Hearts just one point from the foot of the table and results need to turn around quickly before they find themselves in a real fight to avoid relegation.

The defeat was Hearts second in three games since MacPhee took interim charge and St. Mirren winning against Ross County leaves Hearts really in the mire.

Furious Hearts fans were quick to take to Twitter at full-time and vent their fury as the Jambos slipped to a shambolic defeat.
