Who would've thought after the last Edinburgh derby that Lee Johnson would be the last man standing in the dugout? Hearts came to Easter Road in January and dumped Hibs out of the Scottish Cup with a 3-0 win on enemy territory.

That came just weeks after the Hibees had gone to Tynecastle and lost by the same scoreline, leaving Johnson under severe pressure and things looking good for Robbie Neilson.

Fast forward less than three months, and Neilson is gone despite being undefeated in derbies since returning to Gorgie for a second spell nearly three years ago.

Johnson hasn't managed a win against the club he used to play for, but will get another chance today as he battles to keep his team in the top half of the Premiership.
