Daniel Grainger scored the game's only goal with a strike from outside the penalty box, in front of a sell-out crowd at Tynecastle. The victory moves Hearts up three places to seventh.

Meanwhile, Hibernian drop to second in the table, following Celtic's win over Aberdeen in the early game.
St Johnstone and Ross County played out a draw at McDiarmid Park. David MacKay put the Saints ahead after 50 minutes, before Liam Craig equalised in the 70th.
