It was a 90 minute slog with very little action in either box throughout. It took Hearts until the second half just to have an attempt on goal which says a lot.
Morton were marginally the better side as they looked to move out of night place. As for the Championship winners, the performance which saw them sweep aside Alloa last week was nowhere to be seen.

A more uncomfortable evening as a wing-back compared to Alloa game. Hearts lacked attacking quality in wide areas. Beaten in the air early on for the best chance of the match. Photo: Ross Parker - SNS Group
6. Peter Haring - 4
Good interception around the 70th minute when Morton looked like springing forward but not nearly accurate or crisp enough with his passing which proved detrimental to the build up. Photo: Paul Devlin - SNS Group
7. Aaron McEneff - 5
Some nice runs off the ball but very little with it when Hearts needed it. Not a performance which will live long in the memory. Photo: Ross MacDonald - SNS Group
8. Andy Halliday - 5
Solid performance defensively but was tasked with filling the left flank and, like Logan on the right, didn't provide sufficient threat going forward. Couple of moments in the first half where he was dispossessed. Photo: Ross MacDonald - SNS Group
