Hearts 2 – 0 Dundee

Lawrence Shankland ended his goalless drought to help his side to strong win over Dundee.

Two and half months after his last goal, the Hearts captain’s header arced over a static Jon McCracken and doubled his tally just ten minutes later.

Musa Drammeh had a chance of his own by he could only send Blair Spittal’s cross wide in the first half.

Dundee’s Oluwaseun Adewumi could not build on his impressive midweek outing against Motherwell, sending one of his side’s few opportunities sky high.

Antonio Portales also unable to find the target with his header.

McCracken was granted a get out of jail free card when his mishit clearance fell into the path of Drammeh, but was ruled marginally offside.
