Heart Of Midlothian – ST Johnstone

Heart of Midlothian edged a tight home victory over St Johnstone, winning 2‑1 to claim three points and lift them to 95th place with two points from three matches. The win broke a season‑long pattern in which the two clubs have met only once before, a game that Hearts also won. St Johnstone, now seventh with seven points from six games, remain three points behind the leaders despite scoring eight goals, while their defence has conceded nine. The result leaves Hearts still winless overall but with a better goal difference than the 3‑3 tally they have amassed so far.
