Hearts scored an injury-time equaliser to salvage a draw against Ross County and bring an end to a long run of defeats.

The Tynecastle club are still without a win in all competitions this season but Lawrence Shankland’s late goal gave them a point on Saturday.

The 1-1 draw ends an eight game losing streak and is their first Premiership point since the opening game of the season.

Ronan Hale put the Highland club in front with a goal in the first-half in Edinburgh.

But just as it looked as though Hearts had suffered a ninth consecutive defeat, Shankland popped up with the equaliser in the sixth minute of injury-time.

It was the home-side’s first game since Steven Naismith was sacked with B-Team manager Liam Fox taking interim charge.

Hearts remain bottom of the league with two points from seven games while Ross County are in seventh.
