St Johnstone manager Simo Valakari: "Of course, we're very disappointed. It was a very tight game. "Hearts used their moments with better quality than what we did. We could not produce enough moments in the final third. Our crossing, final pass, was not good enough. We asked more questions second-half.

St Johnstone host Hearts in a 12th vs 10th Premiership clash this afternoon and Simo Valakari and Neil Critchley have named their teams.

Dundee's defeat by Ross County on Saturday left the door ajar for them to bring the pack above back into their sights. However, another defeat seems to have further dampened their faint hopes of Premiership survival with 11 games to go.
