Hibs and Hearts collide this weekend in an Edinburgh derby of epic proportions at Easter Road.
Both sides have something big to play for. David Gray’s hosts are chasing European football, but it’s Derek McInnes’ visitors where much attention sits, as they are top of the Premiership with five games in the post split top six shake-up to come. They lead by a point and their arch rivals have a chance to derail their momentum on top of boosting their continental ambitions.
Both sides are set to have key absences while a couple of players lurk in the doubt category. Here is the latest injury picture ahead of Hibs vs Hearts in Leith this weekend.
