HEARTS dropped two points in a dramatic 1-1 draw with Motherwell at Fir Park tonight.
The Edinburgh club are now four points ahead of Celtic who have the chance to cut that to one when they play Rangers at Parkhead tomorrow.
With the finishing tape in sight and the Tynecastle club due to play the last game of the topsy-turvy Premiership campaign at Parkhead a week today, the focus has switched back to the champions.
Derek McInnes’ side had to fight back from going a goal behind in the 25th minute to chisel out a point. Jens Berthel Askou’s outfit took the lead in the 25th minute after some slick play on the left.
THE EQUALISER…Lawrence Shankland fires past Motherwell keeper Calum Ward.
Emmanuel Longelo, the team’s two-goal hero in their 3-2 win at Ibrox, whipped over a low cross and Hearts defender Stephen Kingsley, under pressure from Ibrahim Said, diverted the ball into hit own net.
Lawrence Shankland pounced in the 43rd minute to claim the equaliser after keeper Calum Ward had punched out a shot from Michael Steinwender.
The visitors also survived a scare in the 53rd minute when ex-Celt Stephen O’Donnell thought he had scored a second for Well, but VAR ruled out the effort.
