It was at Rugby Park where Liam Fox's second interim spell ended with a win.
It drew an emotional response afterwards.
In an exclusive interview, he reflects on that, both interim spells, the pride of managing Hearts and the night in Azerbaijan.
Hearts hope Craig Halkett follows Harry Milne and signs a new deal.
Talks over a new contract have been taking place over the last few weeks and have been positive.
Derek McInnes prepares for his Rugby Park return for the first time as Heart of Midlothian boss.
He will likely be the focus of the home support.

Alexandros Kyziridis is a very cool customer.
He breaks down his goal of the month v Falkirk, the almost replica against Hibs, his instinct and doing it in training.
π£οΈ "My team mates know what I'm able to do."
Derek McInnes, speaking to Sky on speculation.
π£οΈ My job is firmly at Hearts. I've wanted to be here for a long time. I am really enjoying my work here.
We feel we have started something and we want to make sure we can follow up a strong start to the season."
Hearts are close to selling out their allocation for Rugby Park.
More than 3,500 fans will travel west for the late kick-off on TV.

It's been four months since Liam Fox led Hearts to four wins in a row at the end of last season.
He has spent that time preparing for his return to management.
I caught up with Fox this week to reflect on his coaching journey so far.
Heart of Midlothian have identified a preferred candidate to replace Ann Budge as chair.
There is expected to be further change at board level with one director understood to be stepping down at the AGM.
Macaulay Tait didn't make his Scotland 21s debut this evening - could make it on Sunday - but caught up with him earlier this week.
Spoke of the call-up, eating everything and anything to bulk up, kicking on at Livi and having time on his side.
Tony Bloom on the need to improve Scottish football, growing the game and Hearts financials.
π£οΈ "Hearts will be a force and when we get into Europe, we'll be winning games and we will help lift that coefficient"
Liam McFarlane's positive season continues, training with the Scotland national team over the past two days.
Part of the 21s squad for the upcoming double header but got a good experience with the senior team.
Highly thought of by club and country.
Hearts have been monitoring the Rangers managerial situation.

β¦οΈ Moment that sums up Halkett
Hearts set to lose Keir McMeekin to Manchester City after significant interest from Premier League clubs.
Scottish clubs are finding it increasingly difficult to hold onto their best young talent when the EPL elite come calling.
Craig Halkett is a rare commodity. A defender you're happy for the ball to fall to in situations like Saturday.
He spoke about that finish, what it meant, the golf celebration for a fan, his leadership (and fining) role.
Interview with a derby hero.
Craig Halkett joins Lawrence Shankland, Phil Stamp and David Obua to have a derby named after him.
It prompted a very celebratory evening in Gorgie and elevates the momentum, enthusiasm and excitement that is enveloping Heart of Midlothian.
Hearts hope to organise a bounce game before Kilmarnock while there is positive news on the injury front this month with Ageu and Kent set to return.
That and Derek McInnes on how the team can continue improving.
Derek McInnes hailed the "beautiful sight" of Tynecastle Park after a win over Hibs.
He spoke on the impact of Sabah Kerjota and Hearts fans excitement of a table-topping team.
Heart of Midlothian are five points clear at the top of the league. And did it in the BEST way possible.
Tynecastle Park was raucous at full-time. Gorgie should be raucous this evening.
That pint of Tennent's is going to be beautiful.
CRAIG HALKETT.
Derek McInnes has named the same starting XI for the third game running.
He said he was "pleased" to do so and the key focus for table-topping Heart of Midlothian.
Two clean sheets in a row ahead of the derby.
A key component of the potential success for Heaths is having, in my opinion, the best centre-back options in the Premiership.
Spoke to McInnes about that depth and the excellent Craig Halkett.
Hearts have a clear desire to win the ball back and engage the opposition high up the pitch.
It started in pre-season and part of a developing identity.
Chat with Derek McInnes on going after teams and the first thought after losing the ball.
Since 2000, nine players have reached the 200-game milestone for Heart of Midlothian.
The last player to do so was Michael Smith.

Hearts are considering disbanding their B team at the end of the season.
The club are exploring it as part of a possible wider restructuring.
It follows change within Scottish football (new 19s league, co-op loans, LL restructure).
Hearts are monitoring Macaulay Tait's loan spell at Livingston closely.
His physical output has improved, he's playing different roles and he is one of only two players 20 or under to play over 300 minutes in the Premiership so far.
The Hearts hope for Ageu and Oisin McEntee ahead of upcoming games, plus Frankie Kent timeline.
