Hearts will look to enact revenge on Hibs as they welcome their fierce rivals to Tynecastle in the Scottish Premiership on Tuesday night (kick-off: 8pm).
Currently three points clear at the top of the table, Derek McInnes’ men suffered a 3-2 defeat to their Edinburgh neighbours in late December, and will be out to ensure David Gray’s side don’t inflict further damage to their title hopes when they meet at Gorgie this week.
However, their Easter Road counterparts will be out to ensure they secure a positive result in the capital after new signing Ante Suto helped them end a run of four games without a victory by notching an injury-time winner on his debut in the 3-2 victory over Dundee United last week. A win against Hearts will see them close the gap on fourth-placed Motherwell to just one point.
