Hearts v Hibs injury news: 8 out and 3 doubts as Derek McInnes and David Gray sweat on fitness of key men

Hearts welcome Hibs this weekend as the two Edinburgh giants face off in the Scottish Premiership for the first time this season at Tynecastle (kick-off: 5.45pm).

Goals from Alexandros Kyziridis, Lawrence Shankland, and Craig Halkett saw Hearts storm to a comfortable 3-0 home win over struggling Falkirk last weekend as Derek McInnes’ side went two points clear at the top of the Scottish Premiership following Hibs' 0-0 draw with Celtic.

As for the visitors, David Gray’s side will hope to halt their Edinburgh rivals' six-game unbeaten streak in the league, and extend their own unbeaten run to five games against their Gorgie foes.

Ahead of Saturday’s game, both managers have injury worries, though Hearts are hoping they can welcome back the duo of Craig Gordon and Christian Borchgrevink to the matchday squad, while David Gray has worries over a trio of key men heading into the clash.
