Hearts Held at Motherwell as Title Race Twists Again
Hearts stayed four points clear of Celtic after a 1-1 draw, but they lost Craig Halkett and Marc Leonard to serious-looking injuries.
- Hearts drew 1-1 at Motherwell on Saturday, maintaining a four-point lead atop the Scottish Premiership with two matches remaining in the season.
- Falling behind for the fifth consecutive game after Stephen Kingsley bundled a cross into his own net in the 25th minute, Hearts equalized through captain Lawrence Shankland in the 43rd minute.
- Manager Derek McInnes confirmed defenders Craig Halkett and Marc Leonard sustained season-ending Achilles injuries. McInnes criticized referee Steven McLean for denying a penalty to Alexandros Kyziridis, saying McLean had a "poor game."
- Celtic can reduce the deficit to one point if they defeat Rangers in Sunday's Old Firm match, tightening the title race heading into the final week.
- Hearts could secure their first league title since 1960 at home against Falkirk on Wednesday, provided Celtic drop points in their upcoming fixtures.
