Hearts 3-0 Falkirk result, stats and report

Hearts ground out a 2-1 Scottish Premiership win over St. Johnstone at Tynecastle, with James Wilson's early goal and an Enes Alic own goal doing the damage before R. Paton pulled one back for the visitors after the break.

Camilo Durán scored twice inside the first half-hour to put Celtic in control, but Falkirk's own goal consolation made for a nervy finish at Parkhead. Celtic won it. They just did not make it look easy.

Dundee United dominated possession and territory for ninety minutes but could not convert their superiority into a win, with Michael Forbes heading in a 90th-minute equaliser to salvage a point against a Falkirk side who had led since the fourth minute.

Hearts produced a controlled second-half display to win 3-1 at Hibernian, with Hibs undone by a red card, sloppy defending, and a total failure to hold what they had built in the first half.

Lawrence Shankland scored twice for Rangers to secure a 2-1 Scottish Premiership victory at Falkirk, with the visitors digging out the result despite Falkirk winning more duels, more tackles, and holding more possession on the night.

Hearts dominated possession of the ball for large stretches and led through a quick-fire equaliser, but SK Rapid's bench proved the difference, with a substitute scoring three minutes after coming on to level at Tynecastle.

Kilmarnock arrive at Rugby Park without a point from their opening two league games and carrying the worst defensive record in the division. Hearts travel knowing their form away from home tells a very different story to their performances at Tynecastle.

St. Johnstone host a Falkirk side leaking goals at an alarming rate in the Scottish Premiership, and the structural patterns in the data point toward a home win with goals on both ends.
