Killie's first post-split fixture was a 0-0 share of the spoils at Rugby Park against Hearts
Derek McInnes insisted Kilmarnock's goalless draw at home to Hearts could prove crucial come the end of the season.
They breathed a sigh of relief on a few occasions in a clash Hearts mostly controlled. Kenneth Vargas rattled the bar midway through the half before Cammy Devlin curled an effort from the edge of the box moments later that kissed the corner of bar and post. While the gaffer admitted it was a sub-par display, he was keen to focus on the positives, commenting: "That could be a really important point for us. We don’t have a crystal ball but I’ve said it to the players. It’s difficult to pick up points in the top six especially when the Old Firm are going for a title.
“We’ve got two away games now at Ibrox and St Mirren and hopefully by the time we play Celtic here, it’ll be cemented but we’ve got work to do.”
