Socceroos whizkid Garang Kuol has made his debut for Hearts in a 1-0 win over St Mirren in the Scottish Premiership.

The 18-year-old attacker came off the bench in the 61st minute with his team already leading and helped secure the home victory at Tynecastle Stadium in Edinburgh on Friday night.

The debut came just a day after former Central Coast Mariners star Kuol completed his loan move from English Premier League high fliers Newcastle United.

Striker Barry McKay scored the only goal in the 29th minute.

The win put Hearts (35 points) six points clear of Aberdeen in third place behind Ange Postecoglou's Celtic (58) and Rangers (49).

Kuol was one of two Hearts debutants in the match with fellow loan signing, England under 21 defender James Hill, delivering a man-of-the-match performance in his first start.
