The household side equalized just after the break through Austrian defender Michael Steinland, but the Czech wing Vaclav Cerny restored the visitors’ lead in the 61st minute, and MCCART re -scored 12 minutes later, and that could be a more filter assessment , there were goals by John Sutrut and the tenths of Kiriel were not managed in offside.
Clement, whose country returned to 13 points behind the leaders of the League Celtic, said: “The team showed the right mentality as a group, the players who started, the players who went in to enter the duel that is needed here.
“Also against a team of Hearts, which is filled with the victory with an offensive style of play, many attacking players of good quality and the team dug and took the right moments.
“It is a pity that twice (there were) a little offside – I didn’t see the images back, but I believe that VAR is always right – so we almost scored two goals more into a guest game, so that’s good.
“And the team showed the right mentality. Was the ball on the highest quality as the highest quality as in our best games? Not today, but it was the right mentality. And these should be the basics. “

The hosts suffered their first defeat in nine games, with boss Neil Crachlli leaving “scratching my head” after the loss.
He said, “I don’t think 3-1 is an fair reflection of the game at all.
“It’s not often to play rangers and you have more ball, more passes, better chances, more shots. And we did all this today, but we still lost.
“I suppose the story of the game for us is that we have not been clinical in our moments and a little misery for maybe one or two of the goals. And that decided the game.
“But so many positive things. I thought we were very good. I took the game with them, went with them to the fifth. I don’t think 3-1 is an honest reflection of the game. “
Regarding McCarte Cryci’s personal nightmare, he said, “These are the things you have to go on your way in these types of games.
“The first goal obviously just hit him when he recovers to the target. And then the third goal, he is actually there and does not receive it enough to take him from the tenth and drive him out for an angle.

“But even in 3-1, we also had great chance of going 3-2 and there was more than enough time.”
In terms of the chances, the striker Elton Kabangang was the biggest culprit for the hearts, but Crachi understood.
He said, “He got off the field and was disappointed. He said he had to score.
“But again, I am not critical of him because he played this position perfectly and how we wanted him to play.
“He entered the right areas. Butland has created a magnificent rescue low down to direct it around the publication. The one where he struck the inside of his hand and then deviates past the target, you just have to go through them sometimes.
“It just didn’t happen to him. Today it could easily have one or two goals. “
