Robbie Neilson tells Hearts players to 'pull their fingers out' after dismal St Mirren defeat sees Jambos booed off Tynecastle pitch

Robbie Neilson has told his Hearts squad to 'pull their fingers out' after a dismal 2-0 defeat to St Mirren at Tynecastle saw them fall below third place in the Scottish Premiership for the first time since Christmas.

Goals from Mark O'Hara and Curtis Main saw the Buddies race into a 2-0 lead in the capital city, before Robert Snodgrass' red card wrapped up a miserable 11 minute spell for Neilson's side, with the result marking a fifth loss in six Premiership games - the only anomaly coming at home to St Johnstone.

Aberdeen's win over Kilmarnock has now seen Barry Robson's side up to third in the table, with the Jambos now only four points ahead of sixth-placed rivals Hibs having played a game more. And Neilson was not happy with the performance, adding that he was 'bitterly disappointed' with the performance as he berated the manner of St Mirren's goals.
