Lawrence Shankland knows Hearts were 'miles away' against St Mirren but knows his last gasp leveller could prove vital in the hunt for third.
Interim boss Steven Naismith described their performance in Paisley as a 'tale of two halves' after watching his side recover from two goals down to claim a share of the spoils. Aberdeen and city rivals Hibs played out a goalless draw at Pittodrie meaning the gap remains at five points with three Scottish Premiership outings to go.
Next up is a huge game with Barry Robson's men as they make the trip to the capital to face Hearts. A victory for the home side would reduce the gap to just two points and could take the battle to finish behind Celtic and Rangers right down to the wire.
