"We've been there and won a couple of times during my time as a Hearts player," Shankland said.

Shankland added that the team welcomed the opportunity to compete for the championship in the final game.
"We go there confident and we've been top of the league all season. It's a 90-minute cup final.
If you offered us that at the start of the season we would have taken it," he said.
Former Hearts midfielder Michael Stewart shared his belief that the squad could still claim the title despite the setback.
"There's no reason why Hearts can't win the title," Stewart said.
Stewart urged the team to remain positive despite the emotional fallout from the Motherwell fixture.
"As much as there's disappointment, scepticism and a lot of ill-will coming off the back of [Wednesday], Hearts need to focus on the positives," he said.
He reemphasized that the squad possessed the capability to secure the required result.
Former Celtic captain Scott Brown anticipated a highly charged atmosphere for the season finale.
"It's going to be so nervy," Brown said.
Brown noted that playing in front of the home support would provide a significant advantage to Celtic.
"I think 60,000 fans at Celtic Park will make a difference.
It would have been different if was a draw [at Fir Park] and Celtic had to score three or four goals," he said.
He stated that the scenario was ideal for the Celtic squad and management.
