Tynecastle Park is gearing up for the first Edinburgh derby of the season

Hearts and Hibs fans have snapped up every available ticket for this weekend’s first Edinburgh derby of the season at Tynecastle Park. All three home stands plus the away stand are sold out as supporters clamour to attend the match.

Hearts sit fourth in the Premiership table with 10 points from seven games as they prepare to welcome their city rivals. Hibs are sixth on eight points and, as always, a high-octane affair is expected on Saturday.

Sportscene will have highlights of the derby on Saturday evening for those unable to see it live. The show starts at 7.30pm on the BBC Scotland channel.
