Leaders Hearts dropped three valuable points in the Scottish Premiership title race as they lost 1-0 to an inspired Kilmarnock at Rugby Park.

Michael Schjønning-Larsen scored the only goal of the game as Kilmarnock eased their own relegation fears while blowing the title race wide open.

Hearts had watched Celtic beat Motherwell earlier on Saturday to move to within two points of the league leaders and knew they had to take maximum points in Ayrshire to wrestle the momentum back, with third-placed Rangers travelling to Paisley on Sunday to face St Mirren.

Instead, it was Kilmarnock who were good for the three points and gave their own survival hopes a serious shot in the arm, with this win moving them level on points with St Mirren in 10th place and nine clear of basement side Livingston, who they play next week.
