The pundits have been out in force after Hearts dramatically defeated nine-man Hibs 2-1 in the Edinburgh derby on Sunday.
Goalkeeper Raphael Sallinger and right-back Felix Passlack’s red cards either side of half-time for the hosts cancelled out their good start of a Martin Boyle opener. It was the Jambos who’d eventually come out on top through a Warren O’Hora own goal and Blair Spittal strike to ensure they stay top of the Premiership.
Celtic’s win over Falkirk moves them second and within three points of Derek McInnes’ men but Rangers’ costly loss to Motherwell now sees them four off the pace, ahead of Hearts and the Light Blues colliding next Monday. Four games remain as Hearts look to clinch a first title since 1960, and Hibs seek European qualifiers, with pundits giving their takes. Here’s 13 pundits and their takes on the latest Edinburgh derby.

"The sending off changes the game and it's an error of judgement from the goalkeeper. There was nothing in the game and then when Passlack is sent off the game is a bogey. It seemed inevitable Hearts would get the goals to win the game and it's a sore one for Hibs." | Local Library
