Indeed, Livingston’s leveller came from a slack pass when Craig Halkett failed to find Islam Chesnokov on the right-hand side. <\/p>\n
Livi broke up their left and Cristian Montano’s cross found Lewis Smith, who slammed home at the back post.<\/p>\n
“The second goal is a ridiculous goal to lose, so we’re disappointed with that,” the Hearts head coach said. “You can’t keep pulling yourself off the canvas.<\/p>\n
“Half an hour to go, I wanted to try and carry a bit more threat in that but what you’ve got to remember is you’re up against a team at the bottom of the league and all of a sudden they’ve got something to hang on to.”<\/p>\n
After Celtic’s away win at Dundee, it is now Martin O’Neill’s side who have the best away record in the league. Rangers are behind them, with Hearts in third.<\/p>\n
The Jambos have only lost five games all season, but all of those defeats have come on the road – to Aberdeen, Hibs, St Mirren, Rangers and Kilmarnock.<\/p>\n
McInnes though, was keen to dispel the idea that going away to the likes of Rugby Park and Almondvale are an easy six points.<\/p>\n
“There’s no easy games in the league,” he said. We’ve had a poor 20 minutes at Kilmarnock really and got ourselves behind, but we didn’t do enough to win that game either. <\/p>\n
“The last couple we’ve been guilty of losing poor goals and not doing enough to win games. The game at St Mirren was 10 men [after Craig Halkett’s red card] and then we lose the game at Ibrox and I thought we were very good in the game.”<\/p>\n
“We’re going to have to be really strong with our home form as we have been all season but there’s no doubting that a couple of big results on the road wouldn’t do us any harm. That’s where we need to try and address it.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
