McInnes updates on McPake as Jambos gather fresh steam

A Stephen Kingsley beauty secured a 2-0 victory for Hearts against Falkirk at a gusty Grangemouth on Saturday evening, write

- Ben Banks and Andrew Mackenzie.

Claudio Braga put the Jambos ahead inside a minute and Harry Milne denied the hosts a certain leveller before first-half proceedings ended. Kingsley then came off the bench to replace Milne in 74 minutes and smashed home a winner from range with one of his first touches against John McGlynn’s Bairns.

The Jambos remain top of the league by six points ahead of second-placed Celtic who have two league games in hand, after losing 3-1 to St Mirren in yesterday’s League Cup Final.

Tynecastle head coach Derek McInnes was delighted to see one of his number send a reminder of his quality in the Falkirk Stadium win, when left-back Kingsley stepped up with the big moment to seal three points.
