St Mirren secured their post-split place in the Scottish Premiership top six for the second year running despite coming off second best against Hearts.
Results elsewhere, though, mean Stephen Robinson's side have confirmed their top-six spot, while Hearts stay 11 points clear in third.In conditions which could charitably be described as disruptive, neither side was able to get much traction in the first half. Somehow Vargas contrived to shoot wide after a mazy run through the St Mirren defence, with the home side notably fired up as a result, twice forcing Clark into saves in quick succession.
Despite pushing forward for an equaliser St Mirren couldn't make their chances count, with substitute Keanu Baccus blazing over.In often treacherous conditions, Clark managed to pull off a number of saves which kept Hearts in the driving seatThe celebrations in Paisley were slightly muted, but the main aim for the season has been achieved - back-to-back top-six finishes. It's well-deserved too, as they've hardly been out of the upper half all season.
"I'm especially delighted for the staff who've worked tirelessly and drag every last drop out of the group of players. It's been a team effort from the boardroom all the way down.
