The first ever Edinburgh derby was played in the Meadows on Christmas Day as Hearts agreed to face their recently formed rivals despite being told not to by the Edinburgh Football Association.
A topsy turvy match as Hearts took an early two-goal lead before Hibs pegged them back with goals either side of half-time. They were level for two minutes as Hearts eased to the win. Tommy Walker netted twice for the home side.
One of the most famous derbies of all time. It is the game Hibs fans will never forget and the one Hearts supporters will never be allowed to forget. There were doubles for Jimmy ORourke, Alan Gordon and Arthur Duncan.
