Hibs' Kevin Dabrowski decision, Hearts boss peeved, Edinburgh derby reaction - Scotsman Sport Show

It may have lacked goals but the Edinburgh derby between Hibs and Hearts was not short on talking points after an hard fought goalless draw at Easter Road on Tuesday.

For Hibs, while the three points they needed to close the gap on Hearts were not forthcoming, it was a performance that restored some much-needed belief after three consecutive poor performances against Motherwell, Cove Rangers and Livingston.

Hearts, meanwhile, left Leith with a feeling of injustice having been denied at least one, possibly two, penalty kicks with Lewis Stevenson’s barge on Ellis Simms and a handball from the same player in the box going unpunished.
