Hearts See Red: Third Red Card Costs Team

Hearts faced a significant setback in their recent match against St Mirren, succumbing to a 1-0 defeat. The team's performance was heavily impacted by a red card issued to Craig Halkett in the 29th minute, following an error by teammate Stuart Findlay. This marked Hearts' third red card in their last five games, a pattern manager Derek McInnes described as "playing with fire."

Despite the numerical disadvantage, Hearts had shown resilience in earlier matches against Dundee and St Mirren. However, this time they were unable to find a winning formula. The decisive moment came in the 88th minute when Miguel Freckleton scored the winning header, consigning Hearts to their third league defeat of the season. The team remains six points clear at the top of the league, with closest rivals Celtic and Rangers yet to play.
