It's all change in the capital, with Hearts pulling the trigger on Robbie Neilson's managerial tenure following five straight defeats and placing former Scotland striker Steven Naismith in interim charge.

While over in Leith, Lee Johnson is still remaining hopeful of Hibs securing a much coveted European place despite four losses in a row themselves.

The pair meet at Easter Road on Saturday lunchtime in the penultimate game before the Premiership split and both teams will know the high stakes in place.

Johnson is yet to taste victory against his Edinburgh rivals since taking the Hibs job last summer and will be desperate to give Naismith an early scare to life in the Hearts hot seat.
