Hearts missed a handful of chances as they fell to only their second draw in six games at Livingston.
Robbie Neilson's men tried to get some free-flowing play going but were loose in possession. Lawrence Shankland carried a threat in the first half and watched a header go over the bar. The Jambos dwindle a bit under pressure from Livi in the first half but Yutaro Oda had the best of the chances when the ball flashed across the six yard box but he couldn't steer home.
In the second half, substitute Garang Koul passed up a huge double chance to open the scoring but fired straight at the home keeper. The Lions were inches away from opening the scoring through Steven Bradley before a rapid Kye Rowles got back in the nick of time to clear the ball. The second half was a bit of a slog afterwards and neither side threatened enough to take three points.

Zander Clark - 5
Messy moment in the second half and was spared blushes by Rowles.
Stephen Kingsley - 7
A strong showing with some tough defending to do.
Orestis Kio - 5
A few loose passes and couldn't get on the turn well, always facing his own goal. Not a good outing.
Nathaniel Atkinson - 5
A lot to deal with in first half and stood up well. Second half was quieter but he offered something.
Cammy Devlin - 5
Good hunger in the middle but replaced on 37 mins with a knock.
Alex Cochrane - 6
Long balls didn't quite hit the mark on the counter.
Kye Rowles - 8
Looked alert and strong at the back. A sensational clearance off the line to save his side.
Tobby Sibbick - 7
A strong performance after a great showing in the derby
Stephen Humphrys - 6
Touch left a bit to be desired but set up Koul for a huge chance. A few chances of his own but couldn't convert.
Yutaro Oda - 5
A lot of chasing but not much to shout about. Missed a big chance in the box before half time. Hooked for the second half.
Lawrence Shankland - 6
Good link-up early on and missed a header. Playing off the forwards so not much goal mouth action.
Subs
Jorge Grant - 6
Nice ball to set up Koul's chance on for the injured Devlin. His link-up was impressive.
Garang Koul - 4
A massive double chance he had to score after HT. Fearless in his pursuit.
Josh Ginnelly - 3
On for the final ten.
Alan Forrest - 3
Not much in the final few.
