Robbie Neilson’s side trailed for a long period to Ayo Obileye' s spot kick which was disputed following a coming together between Stephen Kingsley and Isiah Jones.
After a bright start, Hearts struggle to assert their authorirty and quality with a number of players having an off day throughout the team. Queen of the South goalkeeper Rohan Ferguson was rarely tested despite the amount of ball the league leaders had.
The point does extend Hearts' lead at the top of the Championship to 13 points.
So, how did the 14 Hearts players fare out of ten?

Started brightly and had Hearts' best opportunity but completely fell out of the game. Barely noticeable in the second half, especially when moved out to the left. Photo: Mark Scates - SNS Group
10. Liam Boyce - 7
The Northern Irishman was essentially playing in attack himself. Held the ball so well but had little support and little to no service. Won and scored the penalty. Photo: Ross Parker - SNS Group
