Hearts are one step closer to the Premiership title after a huge 2-1 win over Hibs in the Edinburgh derby.
Investor Tony Bloom said last summer that the Jambos would win the league within a decade but it could come true next month following a huge weekend. Martin Boyle put Hibs ahead in his final derby before leaving Easter Road but David Gray’s host were hamstrung by sending offs for Raphael Sallinger and Felix Passlack.
Warren O’Hora’s own goal and Blair Spittal’s low effort completed the Hearts comeback on a day where title rivals Rangers lost to Motherwell. Derek McInnes’ side are now three points clear of second-placed Celtic with Rangers four back in third ahead of Hearts’ colossal hosting of them on May 4. Photographers were in place inside and out of Easter Road on Sunday to get a flavour of the day. Here are 61 of the most epic, raucous and emotional snaps.
