Joe Wright reckons the fact Kilmarnock players were disappointed not to take all three points at Tynecastle shows how far the club have advanced in the last 12 months.The centre-back was a mainstay in the side last year that required a final day victory over Ross County last term to secure their Premiership status.Fast forward and the point away to Hearts means they booked their place in the top six with two games to spare.He said: “There were a few disappointed boys in the changing room after we didn’t come away with three points and I think that shows the level of performance.“We’ve done it all season, having that character and belief and willingness to stick together.

There are five chances there we’d expect to take. The hardest one all day is Marley’s goal and he puts it in the top corner.“I was here last season so to go from fighting for our lives in the last game against Ross County to then come to Tynecastle and secure top six with two games before the split it’s a massive achievement.“Credit has to go to everyone at the club.” Read next: Don't miss the latest Ayrshire headlines – sign up to our free daily newsletter
