It’s a path only the bravest can walk but there’s talk a current Hearts star could face such steps.
Tynecastle goalkeeping deputy Zander Clark is said to be on the Hibs radar with the January transfer window looming. The Easter Road club want to land a new keeper next month and are keen on Rotherham United’s Cameron Dawson, with Clark a player on their radar for the summer, with his Hearts contract expiring.
Clark is seen as a longer-term signing along with other candidates. The 32-year-old has not played competitively since 10 August and is unhappy playing back-up to Craig Gordon, having been number one during the club legend’s serious leg injury.
He wouldn’t be the first to make the move across the city. Plenty of players have done so in the past but with varying levels of success, from record breakers to flops. Here are 13 who have walked the path of playing for both Premiership clubs in Edinburgh.

A year at Hearts in the 16/17 campaign was then followed up with a loan at Hibs from KV Mechelen. Has been without a club since 2023. Was most recently playing in Belgium with URSL Visé. He said upon his Hibs arrival: "I think Hibs are a better team than Hearts — they try to play football. I’ve trained three times with the team and it’s different from Hearts. We play a different system. This team try to play football and I like this better. The long ball is not my game." | SNS Group
