Rangers are stretching the Hearts defence at will. Joe Aribo threads a ball behind the Hearts rearguard for Jermain Defoe.

However, the veteran striker delays his shot and it's deflected wide for a corner.

Emboldened by that Ryan Kent opener, Rangers come forward aiming to double their lead. Joe Aribo takes a tumble in the box under the close attention of Hearts keeper Joel Pereira.

Referee Steven McLean is on the scene and says: 'no penalty'.

We're back under way at Tynecastle.

Two changes for Rangers as Jon Flanagan and Ryan Jack [both booked in the first half] are replaced by Matt Polster and Scott Arfield.

Aberdeen manager Derek McInnes says he shares the frustration of the fans, after his side were held to a goalless draw by St Mirren.

He told BBC Scotland: "We came here and did a lot right. But getting a point is frustrating because I thought we had enough possession to get more from the game.

"A point on the road in the Premiership isn't the worst result but we came here hoping to get the three points and close the gap on Motherwell. I think the fans share the same frustration as we all do.

"They see the team working extremely hard and controlling the game but we still need to try to get something more out of that, try and be a bit more potent in the final third because it's all well keeping the ball, but there's a goal at the end of the pitch for a reason and we've got to threaten the goal a bit more.

"There was a lot right about the team, the same as the other night [1-0 defeat by Motherwell], but the job is to score goals and we've failed to do that."

McInnes, who also believes his side were denied a "stonewall" penalty when Sam Cosgrove was brought down by Conor McCarthy in the first half, said there may be more players arriving before Aberdeen travel to Ibrox to face Rangers next weekend.

"We'll keep asking the question, try and get one or two in if we can, maybe shift things about a little bit. But hopefully we can try and bring something more to the table that can help us in the second part of the campaign."
