  2. Hearts 2-1 Hibs

    James McFadden

    That's a shocking challenge. I really do think he's lucky [to not see red]. He goes in with force, it's a shocking challenge.

  3. Hearts 2-1 Hibs

    Tempers flare with 10 minutes to go.

    Barrie McKay is on the deck after Josh Campbell cleans him out as Hearts tried to break on the counter attack.

    Hearts are unhappy and want a red card, but referee John Beaton gives him just a yellow.

  4. Hearts 2-1 Hibs

    Hibs are still getting forward despite the one-man disadvantage.

    Peter Haring gives away a free-kick and Ewan Henderson decides to go for goal from a long way out, but Craig Gordon has to push it wide for a corner.

  5. Hearts 2-1 Hibs

    James McFadden
    Former Scotland forward on BBC One Scotland

    Hibs had all of the momentum and all of the control. Now they have to probably sit back and pick and choose their moments to attack. It does make it a lot harder now for Hibs, no doubt about it.

  7. Hearts 2-1 Hibs

    Hibs make a double change, and it's attacking ones.

    Paul McGinn and Lewis Stevenson make way with Josh Campbell and Elias Melkersen coming on.

  8. 'Depleted Hibs must dig deep'

    Can Hibs keep up this level of commitment with 10 men or will Hearts manage to hold firm and pick them off? The game is hugely disjointed now but still galloping along at a furious pace.

    The Easter Road side have picked up a ludicrous number of red cards this season. Another of the issues facing rookie boss Shaun Maloney.

  9. Hearts 2-1 Hibs

    Hearts first real chance of the second half. Ellis Sims latches onto a Barrie McKay pass and Hibs goalkeeper Matt Macey makes a fine save.

  10. Hearts 2-1 Hibs

    Big chance for Hibs.

    James Scott beats the offside trap and knocks an inviting ball across goal, but no-one in green and white can get to it.

  11. 'It's a crazy decision from Newell'

    Hearts 2-1 Hibs

    You felt it was coming because of his commitment to the challenge. He knows he's on a yellow card and, yes, you want to show you care but there is no way he can win the ball there. He's lunging it, it's just a crazy decision from Joe Newell.

  12. RED CARD

    Hearts 2-1 Hibs

    Hibs' Joe Newell is sent off less than 20 minutes into the second half.

    Already on a yellow card from the 11th minute, he goes thundering into a challenge on Peter Haring when he appeared to have little chance of winning the ball.

    Just as Hibs were on top, has Newell taken their cup dreams down the tunnel with him?

  13. Hearts 2-1 Hibs

    Ewan Henderson and Chris Cadden combine down the right, but hearts get it cleared when the cross comes in.

    The two appear to be trying to double up on Hearts down that side.

  14. Hearts 2-1 Hibs

    James McFadden
    Former Scotland forward on BBC One Scotland

    The second half has been all about Hibs and all about Hibs' attacking threat. Hearts, however, have stood up to it all so far.

  15. Hearts 2-1 Hibs

    We had three goals in the first half but the second half has probably been a better game so far in the opening 15 minutes. Both sides are flying into challenges now, Hibs sense they can get an equaliser and are edging it.

  17. Hearts 2-1 Hibs

    That is a sensational save, it is incredible from Craig Gordon. Porteous did everything right to get there but it is a wonderful save. This has been a great start to the second half for Hibs.

  18. GREAT SAVE!

    Hearts 2-1 Hibs

    What a save from Craig Gordon.

    Ryan Porteous is unmarked at the corner kick, heads towards the bottom far corner, but Gordon gets a hand to it to nudge it onto the post.

  19. Hearts 2-1 Hibs

    Hearts a looking a little bit ragged and Hibs have started the second half well. Joe Newell wins a corner and the noise levels from the expectant Hibs support rises.

    It doesn't come to much, but Hibs keep it alive and Newell has a shot deflected wide for another corner.

  20. Hearts 2-1 Hibs

    Hearts look like they may have to make another enforced change.

    Craig Halkett is in pain after stretching for a challenge. A stretcher has been called for and this is bad news for Hearts and Scotland.

    Taylor Moore is the man being readied to come on.

    Andy Halliday already limped off early for Hearts in the first half.
