What has Derek McInnes and David Gray said ahead of Hearts vs Hibs?

Hearts boss McInnes said: "There’s nothing that's harder than a derby defeat. You know that and that's the way it should be. We've got 13 Cup Finals left, but every game against your local rivals should feel like a Cup Final. I know regardless of where Hibs and Hearts are in the league, whether it's a bottom six fixture or whether it’s an end of season game or whatever, it should still have that kind of Cup Final feel to it. We were disappointed with ourselves at Easter Road. We lost goals we should never have lost. It's unusual for us because we don't normally lose too many goals in a game, in isolation. For us, we still showed the competitive side. We nearly had something for the game. But we gave ourselves too much to do and I'm just disappointed that it was a bad day for us that day at Easter Road. We see how they celebrate and all the rest of it. It's up to us to try and make sure we come out the other end of this one.”

Hibs head coach Gray commented: "We need to be better than we were at times against Dundee United, and we will get better as the group gels and spends more time together. It certainly puts us in a really good place off the back of a good result. We’ve had one defeat in eight in the league, so we’re definitely going in the right direction and the most important thing tonight is the three points. We will get better from this moment moving forward. We’ve now got six days before the derby to get a lot of time on the grass, and I’m looking forward to that."
