St Mirren and Hearts shared the spoils in PaisleyHearts consolidated third position in the Scottish Premiership by recovering from the loss of an early goal to earn a point at St Mirren.
The Paisley side led inside four minutes after Ryan Strain's deflected free-kick found the back of the net.
But Robert Snodgrass grabbed his first goal for Hearts - and his first in Scottish football since 2008 - with a cross that flew beyond Trevor Carson.
St Mirren finished with 10 men after Marcus Fraser was sent off late on.
Then defender was shown a straight red following a VAR check on his violent stamp on Jorge Grant, but it came too late to affect the outcome.
Hearts remain three points clear in third, while St Mirren drop to sixth.
More to follow.
