Hearts and Hibs collide at Hampden once again this weekend for a spot in this year’s Premier Sports Cup final.
The Edinburgh rivals last met in Mount Florida during the 2022 Scottish Cup semi-final slate, the Jambos winning 2-1. Bragging rights are always keenly sought in this fixture but the added edge of going one game away from glory against either Rangers or Aberdeen adds an extra edge to an already loaded grudge match.
Under Wouter Vrancken, the Jambos have impressed, but it’s been a tough start to life for Marink Reedijk as Hibs manager. Both gaffers have their injury troubles and here’s the latest team news ahead of the latest Edinburgh derby.
