LAWRENCE Shankland salvaged a point for Hearts against Dundee United at Tannadice this afternoon when he converted a penalty in the fifth minute of added-on time at the end of an incident-packed cinch Premiership encounter.
But Tynecastle manager Robbie Neilson was left counting the cost of the hard-fought draw at the end of the 90 minutes – he lost centre backs Craig Halkett and Stephen Kingsley and goalkeeper Craig Gordon to injuries.
United, who were hoping to move off bottom spot with a win, took the lead in the first-half when a Steven Fletcher shot deflected off Kye Rowles and beyond Gordon.
