Kilmarnock vs Hearts

Kilmarnock pulled off a huge upset at Rugby Park, stunning league leaders Hearts 1-0 thanks to Mikkel Schjonning-Larsen's first goal for the club. The Estonia international left-back was unmarked at the back post to tap home from Greg Kiltie's whipped cross in the 17th minute. Hearts dominated possession and created chances but couldn't find an equaliser. Claudio Braga forced a corner that produced a glancing header saved by Kelle Roos, while Finlay Curtis saw a deflected strike cannon off the post. The clinical edge just wasn't there for the visitors. The result is a hammer blow to Hearts' title hopes — a third consecutive away defeat under Derek McInnes. With Celtic beating Motherwell 3-1 on the same day, the gap at the summit is now just two points. For Kilmarnock, man-of-the-match Aaron Tshibola summed up the mood: a massive three points that moves them level with St Mirren and opens a nine-point cushion over bottom club Livingston.
