What channel is Hearts vs Hibs? Live stream, TV, ref, VAR and team news details

It's one of the showpiece fixtures in the Scottish football calendar as Edinburgh's bitter rivals collide at Tynecastle.

Hibs came within minutes of getting one over Hearts last time out at Easter Road before James Wilson sparked wild scenes in the away end with a dramatic equaliser in the dying embers. But David Gray's men will be confident of leaving Gorgie with all three points on Boxing Day after three wins from four against Motherwell, Ross County and Aberdeen. That's lifted the Hibees off bottom spot and just six points adrift of the top six, with Hearts trailing two behind in 10th spot.

It's been a turbulent campaign for both clubs and this week's Edinburgh derby could go a long way to clearing the dark clouds that have gathered over Gorgie and Leith throughout the second half of 2024. It promises to be a blockbuster occasion and here, Record Sport tells you everything you need to know.
