Hearts have enjoyed the bragging rights recently, defeating Hibs 3-1 at Easter Road in January, and winning the last Tynecastle encounter 2-0.

But there have been plenty of memorable moments in Derby matches in recent history for both teams, whether it’s Hearts legend John Robertson’s goalscoring record against the Leithers, Mark de Vries scoring four at Tynecastle, or Hibs’ big victories of 0-7 at Tynecastle on New Year’s Day 1974, or the Russell Latapy-inspired 6-2 victory at Easter Road in October 2001.
