Well, I got my wish today. After another derby match where Hibs started out the more positive team and only had one goal to show for it from Jason Cummings, it could have gone all wrong. As well as scoring, Hibs hit the bar twice in a dominant first half. When Hearts eventually altered their failed stifling tactics, they actually came back into  the game a little bit, but the Hibs players were so committed that they were still in control. They even had a few chances to extend their lead before El Alagui scored a late goal after a Hibs break-out, after yet another failed Hearts attack.

Hibs are obviously the better Edinburgh team this season despite Hearts running away with the league title. A win and 2 draws makes 5 points each, but Hibs have +1 goal difference and Hearts are on -1. Can you tell I enjoyed today's result?
