Hibs vs Hearts LIVE score team news and build-up ahead of the Premiership clash

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.
