Hearts player ratings: Hibs' main tormentor scores an 8 but underperformer gets a 5

Hearts were left kicking themselves after conceding a 95th minute equaliser in the Edinburgh derby at Easter Road.

Robbie Neilson’s men looked on course for the three points when Lawrence Shankland fired them ahead in the 22nd minute following an exquisite pass from Barrie McKay, with Hibs struggling to find a way back into the game.

The visitors held on until the last kick of the ball when Martin Boyle, making his first Hibs appearance following his return from Saudi Arabia, came off the bench to turn home an Elie Youan cross and rescue a point for the home side.

Neilson said: “We’re very disappointed. I thought we were outstanding and dominated the game. Credit to Hibs to get a point off a performance we played so well in.

"Second half if we take two or three of those chances it’s a different story but we have to take it on the chin.”

The result leaves both sides on four points from the opening two fixtures in the cinch Premiership this season.
