Hearts missed the chance to move level on points with second-placed Celtic as Inverness Caledonian Thistle held them to a 1-1 draw at Tynecastle in their Scottish Premier League clash yesterday.

The artic conditions blasting Scotland once again decimated the SPL fixture list with just two matches surviving, allowing Hearts an opportunity to pile the pressure on the Hoops, whose match against Hamilton was called off due to a frozen pitch.

The Jambos had won six successive matches but it was Inverness, unbeaten away for over a year, who took the lead through Grant Munro with a quarter of an hour played.

Hearts were level eight minutes later when Inverness keeper Ryan Esson brought down Stephen Elliott in the box and for the second successive match former Sunderland striker Kevin Kyle converted from the penalty spot.
