Scottish Championship
Two significant results in the second tier, with Hearts leaving East End Park with a point that moves the leaders to within four points of the title and promotion.
Dunfermline had their chances to win it, but a goalless draw is enough to take them above Inverness into fourth place.
Down at the bottom, Alloa must surely be heading for relegation now, their defeat by Arbroath leaving them seven points adrift.
The Red Lichties move level on points with third-bottom Morton but remain behind on goal difference having played a game more.
