Cameron Devlin scored for Hearts to push them another step closer to winning the Scottish Premiership

It was a nervy start for the Jambos, who were spared by the offside flag early on when Calvin Miller curled the ball into the net for the Bairns.

Frankie Kent nodded in the opener as Tynecastle erupted with Cammy Devlin adding another before the break. Blair Spittal then increased what could be a vital goal difference with a second-half stunner.

The fans were on an emotional rollercoaster as the goals filtered through from Fir Park, but Derek McInnes' side are one point clear of Celtic as they chase their first title since 1960.
