Hearts vs Hibs LIVE score and goal updates from Edinburgh derby at Tynecastle

It's a festive battle with plenty on offer as Hearts and Hibs go head to head in the capital.

There hasn't been much cheer in Edinburgh this campaign with both sides sitting at the bottom end of the table. David Gray's men have picked up in recent weeks and go into this one off the back of two wins on the trot including an impressing victory away to Jimmy Thelin's Aberdeen at the weekend.

The Jambos suffered an embarrassing European exit before recovering to defeat defeating St Johnstone in a much-needed win with the rivals seeking a late Christmas gift for their fans at Tynecastle.

A win for the men from Easter Road would have them looking up towards the top six and with that Europe next season while the Jambos can leapfrog the Hibees with derby day bragging rights.

The hosts go into the clash sitting tenth in the table with their city rivals two places above them in the standings.

I can't wait. I'm looking forward to it and hopefully we can get another win. We need it. Hopefully another goal for me too.
