  1. Hearts showed 'character' in response - Critchleypublished at 14:23 Greenwich Mean Time

    FT: Hibernian 1-1 Heart of Midlothian

    Hearts head coach Neil Critchley tells Sportsound: "I loved it, loved the experience. We wanted to come here and try and stamp our authority on the game and play our way, I felt we did that.

    "We were quite wasteful at times in the final third in the first-half. had threatening moments but didn't do enough witht eh ball.

    "Second half, I felt we were in the ascendancy but to concede a goal in the manner we did was really disappointing. It's been an Achilles heel for us this season, I thought we're ironed it out. Obviously not.

    "Our response after that was fantastic. Real character after a tough week, physically, to finish the game as strong as we did. The subs made a big difference."

    Neil Critchley produced a chest-thumping display at full-time as his side rescued a draw meaning he is still, technically, unbeaten as Hearts head coach.

    Not his first rodeo. His reaction to come shortly...

  3. Hibs' rotten derby run continuespublished at 14:15 Greenwich Mean Time

    FT: Hibernian 1-1 Heart of Midlothian

    The draw also prolongs Hibs' poor run in the Edinburgh derby - now just one win in the last 15, coming back in April 2023.

    It also means the away side has won one of the last 11 Premiership meetings - when Hearts won 1-0 at Easter Road in December 2023.

    However, the draw ends Hibs' losing run in the league. Every cloud...

    The number of goals Hibs concede, a lot of them are individual errors. You have to make a decision then.

    You need to recognise there's a problem and then recruit to change that. If not, you promote from within.

    Lewis Miller cannot defend. The two centre-halves are a concern as it is.

    Hibs let Paul McGinn go a couple years ago. Lewis Miller cannot lace his boots.

    The last 17-year-old to score in the Edinburgh derby?

    Aaron Hickey's 84th-minute winner at Easter Road in September 2019.

    Whatever happened to him?

    Well, a successful switch to Bologna followed by a multi-million pound move to the Premier League and Brentford.

    From a Hibs point of view, David Gray will be kicking himself they've lost that kind of goal.

    Baring in mind what's gone on the last few weeks, the players should know to defend with everything they've got.

    Lewis Miller, defensively for Hibs, time and time again is letting his team down. He's picked week in, week out but something's got to give.

    This was a must-win from a Hibs point of view.

  8. Hearts happier after snatching late drawpublished at 14:02 Greenwich Mean Time

    Michael Stewart
    Former Hearts midfielder on Sportsound

    At half-time, because of everything going on this season, Hibs would've been happy at 0-0.

    The way the second-half unfolded, to concede a late goal, they'll be coming away feeling the worse of the two sides.

    Hearts will be feeling positive, they'll feel they're progressing along.

  9. FULL-TIME Hibernian 1-1 Heart of Midlothianpublished at 13:57 Greenwich Mean Time

    The free-kick comes to nothing, and the game peters out into a draw.

    A result that neither side will be happy with, but there is a feeling Hearts have gotten out of jail a bit there.

    They dominated possession, yet Hibs threatened more - until their goal.

    Hearts were desperate after that, and they finally got their equaliser in the 87th minute to spoil Hibs' party and make sure both sides remain anchored to the bottom of the Premiership.

    Hearts corner as we enter the final minute of play.

    James Penrice's delivery... is headed away by Nectar Triantis.

    Hearts then win another free-kick. This will be the last chance.

    Hibernian 1-1 Heart of Midlothian

    Hearts win a free-kick. It's whipped in, but breaks to Blair Spittal on the edge of the box.

    He takes a touch and drives, but it's blocked.

    Neil Critchley's side pushing but they can't hold onto the ball.

    Hearts have a corner after good work from Alan Forrest. Should he have been starting after his impressive display against Omonia Nicosia?

    The James Penrice corner comes in, it's headed by Frankie Kent, and it goes wide.

    A long throw now into the Hearts box bounces off the back of Lawrence Shankland, and Craig Gordon is out to gather.

    The next six minutes are going to be far nervier than the 91 before them.

    Seven minutes of extra time.

    Just to add to that earlier stat - that's the eighth goal Hibs have conceded after the 75th minute. More than any other team in the league.

    Hearts are down in the left-hand corner, but the game has been stopped.

    Don Robertson has handed a few items to Colin Steven, the fourth official. I think they were thrown at James Penrice.

    The left-back is certainly hit by something.

    The 17-year-old scores!

    It's a long throw from James Penrice, it's flicked on twice and James Wilson gets in front of Lewis Miller to slam home from close range.

    What a moment for the youngster. We're all level in the derby again!

    Hibernian 1-0 Heart of Midlothian

    What an opportunity for Hibs to make it 2-0!

    Martin Boyle whips the free-kick in, Nectar Triantis takes a touch and goes one-on-one, but puts a weak shot straight at Craig Gordon.

    I think he might have been offside anyway, to spare his blushes.
