Andy Irving standout - Hearts player ratings for 3-1 win over Alloa

Hearts defeated Alloa Athletic at the Indodrill Stadium to open up a seven point lead at the top of the Scottish Championship.

With Dunfermline dropping points on Friday night and Dundee not in action, Robbie Neilson’s men took advantage by securing the three points which should have been slightly easier than it was. A Kevin Cawley header when Alloa were down to ten men raised the blood pressure of some in the Hearts camp but Josh Ginnelly confirmed the win with a brilliant run.

Andy Irving and Elliott Frear had given the visitors a 2-0 first-half lead.
