Aberdeen manager Jimmy Calderwood is hoping to pip Falkirk for a top-six finish, but accepts that the Bairns deserve it more than his side.
The Dons are a point behind the Bairns ahead of their showdown at Pittodrie next Monday, with Calderwood admitting that both his side and Hearts should be above Falkirk already.
He told the Evening Express: "It would be tragic if Falkirk lost out because they deserve to be sixth a lot more than Hearts and ourselves.
"We are massive clubs, with far more resources at our disposal than John Hughes has at Falkirk.
"Aberdeen and Hearts should always finish ahead of Falkirk in this league. If we don't we will need to take a long hard look at ourselves.
"It would be proof that ourselves and Hearts have underachieved in the league. I would feel sorry for Falkirk, but there is no room for too much sympathy in the heat of the battle."
