BBC Sport - Dundee 1-0 Hearts Bottom side Dundee kept alive their hopes of avoiding relegation from the Scottish Premier League thanks to Ryan Conroy's winner against Hearts. Hearts were reduced to 10 men after 28 minutes when Scotland defender Andy Webster was shown a second yellow card. Brian Easton sent a header against the woodwork before Conroy's free-kick deflected past goalkeeper Jamie MacDonald off the defensive wall. Dundee's Nicky Riley was sent off a minute before normal time. But the Dens Park side retained their lead and, with St Mirren being held to a 3-3 draw away to Hibernian, it means that Dundee's battle for survival continues until next weekend at least. Their third straight victory means they are now only eight points behind the Buddies with three games remaining. 03 Lockwood (Conroy - 46' Booked) 17 Benedictus 06 Davidson (Nish - 62') 10 Baird (Riley - 66' Dismissed) 24 Nish 05 Barr 06 Webster Dismissed after an earlier booking 02 Hamill Booked 14 Walker (Carrick - 47') 15 Holt (B King - 83') 21 Ngoo (Taouil - 32' Booked) 27 Tapping 32 B King
