Hibernian boss John Hughes insists he was happy to take a point from the Edinburgh derby despite missing the chance to go joint top of the Clydesdale Bank Premier League.

Hibs fought out a goalless draw with Hearts and Hughes says it is a "good sign" that his team are taking points even when they are not playing their best football

"I'll take a point with the way we played," he said. "Not to be at your best and to come here and take a point, I think it shows good signs.

"I felt Hearts were the better side in the first half, but not with any great football. We defended it very well, I felt. (Ian) Murray and (Chris) Hogg were immense in the centre of defence.

"Second half, I felt we were a little bit better."
