    • Heart of Midlothian
    • Hibernian
    • 90'+3 There it goes! All over at Tynecastle and it ends in a stalemate!
    • 90'+2 Palazuelos is booked late on for a late challenge...
    • 90'+1 Huge penalty shout as Mole hits the deck in the Hibs box following a challenge with Hoog and Stack! Play on says the referee!
    • 90' Three minutes of added time to be played...
    • 88' Ooh! Glen fires on goal with a sharp shot from 25 yards out! Over the bar...
    • 85' Time running out for either side to make a breakthrough...
    • 82' Yellow card for Murray for a hefty challenge on Mole.
    • 80' Hearts make a third change... Nade is brought off to a huge cheer from the crowd... Mole comes on in his place.
    • 77' Riordan again fires on goal, this time from a tight angle! Balogh is forced into action once again!
    • 73' Here comes another change for Hearts... Black off, Obua on.
    • 71' The introduction of Riordan has really given Hibs a lift...
    • 70' Wotherspoon's cross into the Hearts box is only half-cleared... it drops to Rankin, who fires over the bar!
    • 69' Riordan turns sharply and fires on goal! Balogh to the rescue once again! Corner to Hibs....
    • 67' Hearts make a change now... Novikovas is replaced by Glen.
    • 66' This is much better from Hibs now... Nish looks like breaking through but like Riordan moments earlier, he checks his run and the chance goes begging.
    • 65' Ooooh! Wotherspoon strikes on goal... it's deflected off Wallace, wrongfooting Balogh! But the keeper recovers brilliantly to get a big hand on the ball and divert it onto the post! What a save!
    • 64' Riordan threatens for the first time as it opens up a bit in front of him... but he checks back and the chance is wasted...
    • 60' Nade rises to meet Goncalves's long throw with a header that bounces wide of the upright!
    • 57' Here comes that change... Benjelloun is brought off and Riordan, who was not fit enough to start, comes on to give Hibs a lift.
    • 54' Nade battles hard but is brought down by Miller... free-kick to Hearts...
    • 53' It looks like Hibs are about to make a change...
    • 52' Oooh! Black breaks free of his marker to get a glancing header on a free-kick delivered into the box! It flashes just wide of the far post!
    • 48' Novikovas attempts a spectacular overhead kick! But he doesn't get a good connection and the ball falls tamely into Stack's arms...
    • 47' Driver goes it all alone... he cuts back inside and lets fly! It's on target, but Stack is able to make the save!
    • 46' Second half underway in Edinburgh! Let's hope for better after ther break!
    • 45' There goes the half-time whistle! It's been a pretty disappointing opening period in truth...
    • 44' Nade steps up... and hits the wall... corner nevertheless...
    • 43' Driver wins a free-kick for Hearts, right on the edge of the Hibs box, and there could be danger here with half-time approaching...
    • 37' Chance for Stokes! The Hibs striker runs onto a flick on, but he's stretching for it in the end and his effort is easily dealt with by Balogh! It's a shot on target - their first of the day - nevertheless!
    • 35' Stokes heads off on a mazy run right into the heart of the Hearts defence... but his eventual shot is blocked and the move breaks down.
    • 32' Black fires a free-kick straight into the Hibs wall... shots on target have been at a real premium so far this afternoon.
    • 30' Half an hour gone and still no breakthrough, although Hearts are looking the liklier of the two sides at the moment.
    • 27' Nade meets the resulting corner with a header, but it goes well over the bar and Hibs breathe a sigh of relief!
    • 26' Oooh! Black fires just over the bar from the edge of the box after a corner is only half-cleared by the Hibs defence! The ball takes a slight deflection on its way through...
    • 25' Stokes incurs the wrath of the home crowd with a bad challenge on Stewart... and he gets into trouble with the ref too. Yellow for the Hibs man!
    • 19' Ooh! Best move of the match so far! Stewart is at the heart of it, along with Novikovas and Nade... the neat interchange of passes ends with Steward firing wide of the post! Encouraging nevertheless!
    • 17' McBride kicks the ball away, but referee Conroy does not take any action against the Hibs man...
    • 12' Here come Hearts though, winning a corner... but it's headed clear and Wallace's long-range effort on the follow-up flies well over the bar.
    • 10' Ten minutes gone and so far it's been a typical derby... neither side have really taken the game by the scruff of its neck yet and it's all been a bit frantic.
    • 8' Nish again causing a few problems for the Hearts back line, but the ball is cleared in the end.
    • 6' Nade and Hogg go up for an aerial challenge... and Nade comes out of the challenge worse off...
    • 5' Nish looks to latch onto a long ball forward... but the flag is up on the far side and he's offside.
    • 4' Nothing comes of the corner though and Hibs can compose themselves.
    • 3' Oooh! Black nearly gets to a long Goncalves throw into the Hibs box! Knocked behind by a green shirt in the end and Hearts have the first corner of the day!
    • 2' Goncalves gets a round of applause for mopping up some danger and playing the ball back to Balogh.
    • 1' Bright sunshine in the Scottish capital today and perfect playing conditions.
    • 1' Underway after a poignant minute's silence for Remembrance Day!
    • - Today's referee is S Conroy (Scotland).
    • - Hibernian: Stack, Wotherspoon, Hogg, Murray, Stevenson, Miller, McBride, Rankin, Benjelloun, Nish, Stokes. Subs: Ma-Kalambay, Cregg, Riordan, Thicot, Hanlon, Galbraith, Byrne
    • - Hearts: Balogh, Jason Thomson, Bouzid, Goncalves, Wallace, Driver, Michael Stewart, Palazuelos, Black, Novikovas, Nade. Subs: Kello, Kucharski, Obua, Mole, Glen, Mulrooney, Craig Thomson
    • - Victory for Hibs will see them go joint top of the SPL today, while three points for Hearts will distance them from the relegation places - for the time being at least.
    • - Hearts welcome local rivals Hibs to Tynecastle for the first Edinburgh derby of the season.
