Hearts Back on Top After Livingston Draw

Hearts returned to the top of the Scottish Premiership but missed the opportunity to extend their lead after being held to a 2-2 draw by Livingston.

Hearts reclaimed their status as Scottish Premiership leaders after a 2-2 draw with bottom side Livingston, but failed to restore their three-point cushion over Rangers. The Jambos were knocked off top spot for the first time since September when Rangers went ahead on goal difference by defeating Dundee United on Saturday.

With six games remaining in the season, Hearts now hold a one-point advantage over Rangers at the summit of the table after Lewis Smith's equaliser denied the visitors what would have been a vital victory.
