AARON MCENEFF SCORED the closing goal of Hearts’ 5-2 hammering of Dundee United in the Scottish Premiership earlier today.
The former Shamrock Rovers midfielder was sprung from the bench late in the game and scored the final goal of a rout that featured two goals from Ben Woodburn, on loan from Liverpool.
The result lifts Hearts to second, three points behind Rangers and a point ahead of Celtic having played a game more than both of them.
Elsewhere, Jamie McGrath made a timely return from injury ahead of next week’s World Cup qualifiers with Portugal and Luxembourg by playing all 90 minutes of St Mirren’s 0-0 draw with St Johnstone. McGrath was stretchered off with a hip injury only two weeks ago, but the injury was not as serious as first feared and the Meathman will now link up with the Irish international squad.
