Edinburgh derbies have not been short of goals this century, with scorelines like 5-1 and 4-4 ingrained in the memories of supporters. The goalscorers chart provides interesting reading ahead of Wednesday's Premiership meeting between Hearts and Hibs at Tynecastle Park.
The Edinburgh News has researched every derby fixture since 2000 and compiled a list of players who have regularly found the net in the fixture. Both Hearts and Hibs have had talismanic figures in their ranks over the last 24 years, many of whom came to life against their team's biggest rivals.
Here is a list of every Hearts and Hibs player to claim three goals or more in Edinburgh derbies this century, working upwards from three and finishing at the fixture's top scorer:
13. Garry O'Connor
The striker also scored six times against Hearts in two periods with Hibs. His first derby goal at the age of 20 was a 90th-minute winner back in August 2003. | SNS Group 0141 221 3602
14. Derek Riordan
Hibs' top goalscorer in Edinburgh derbies this century. Riordan has seven goals to his credit against Hearts and infamously found himself confronted by a Tynecastle fan on the pitch after celebrating in May 2009. | SNS Group 0141 221 3602
15. Paul Hartley
The outright top scorer in Hearts-Hibs fixtures since 2000 is the man who played for both clubs. Never found the net for Hibs against Hearts, but in maroon he struck eight times in 15 derby matches. A hat-trick in the 2006 Scottish Cup semi-final was the pinnacle. | SNS Group 0141 221 3602
