Hearts manager Robbie Neilson hailed Barrie McKay after the winger finally opened his account for the club with a stunning volley in Saturday's 2-0 victory over Livingston.
The former Rangers player swept an exquisite effort from inside the area into the top corner in the 58th minute to add to Beni Baningime's early opener.
The strike capped a comfortable afternoon for Hearts as the Gorgie side moved 14 points clear in third place in the Premiership with only 21 left to play for.
