Hearts Reclaim Top Spot After Livingston Draw

Hearts reclaimed the Scottish Premiership leadership but dropped vital points in a 2-2 draw with bottom side Livingston.

The Jambos had been knocked off top spot for the first time since September when Rangers went ahead on goal difference following their win against Dundee United. Lewis Smith's equaliser denied Hearts what would have been a crucial victory in their title race.

With six games remaining, Hearts now sit one point clear at the summit, having restored their lead but missed the opportunity to extend their cushion over Rangers.
