Hearts 0 - 2 Kilmarnock

Stephen Frail, the Hearts caretaker manager, admits being the only coach at the club since the turn of the year has made his life difficult.

The club's former right-back was handed the role in January in a reshuffle that saw Angel Chervenkov leave the club and sporting director Anatoly Korobochka take a back seat.

Frail's duties have entailed training the first team and taking the reserves, and he admits the set-up has not been ideal.

He said: "It is difficult. You play most teams and they have three or four coaches.

"I have got two guys who are fantastic to work with and that's Andy Murray and Tom Ritchie but they are fitness guys.

"Anatoly is up in the stand if I need any guidance that way but I am pretty much on my own. Even up until a couple of weeks ago I was doing the reserves as well.

"You train on a Tuesday then you're off the pitch to go and take the reserves. Midfielder Neil McCann has helped me out and taken a big load off by taking and helping the reserves but you look to someone in the dugout to bounce ideas off. It's not ideal but it's the way it is."

Kilmarnock stormed into the lead in the 75th minute when Grant Murray headed David Fernandez's corner into the net.

Substitute Paul Di Giacomo then volleyed home the second from close range, connecting with Paul Dalglish's cross.
