Scottish Premiership: Islam Chesnokov gets Hearts’ title push back on track
New signing makes mark as leaders see off Falkirk
Dundee win at Aberdeen; Kilmarnock snatch draw
Hearts got their Premiership title push back on track with a 1-0 win over Falkirk at Tynecastle. The Jambos, beaten 4-2 at rivals Rangers last weekend, broke the deadlock just before half-time when the January signing Islam Chesnokov lashed home his first goal for the club. Hearts held out to move five points clear of Rangers, who travel to bottom side Livingston on Sunday.
Ethan Hamilton’s late goal gave Dundee a 3-2 win at 10-man Aberdeen, who had Liam Morrison sent off just before half-time. The Dons had gone in front after 13 minutes when Kevin Nisbet’s shot was fumbled by the Dundee keeper, Jon McCracken, and looked to have gone over the line before Toyosi Olusanya knocked in the rebound.
