Match Report

TTA report

“Forward failings” (GH). Never a classic, Stott headed in (6) from a perfect Walker cross. The game deteriorated “to the point of futility” (GH) due to the failings of the forwards. Hearts scored (82) when a shot came back off a defender and was hit home from 18 yards squirming under slow to dive Henderson.
