Hearts suffered more red card misery as they were held to a goalless Premiership draw by Hamilton, yesterday.

Igor Rossi was sent off for a two-footed challenge on Darren Lyon to undermine the visitors’ chances of victory.

Hearts, who had Callum Paterson sent off in a subsequently-overturned decision during a 3-2 defeat at Hamilton in August, had looked the better side up until Rossi’s 40th-minute dismissal but Hamilton then took control.

However, Hearts came closer to a winner when they hit the crossbar either side of Hamilton substitute Jesus Garcia Tena’s 86th-minute red card.
