Good effort by Adam there.

Wonder if he'll see the season out?

I don’t think this will be the disastrous season for hearts we were hoping for unfortunately.

To be fair, I’ve thought they’ll win the league comfortably. Would be funny if they don’t though.

Certainly looking fresh tonight

[Vault Boy]

Dundee looking a bit worse than I'd have expected given their pedigree in midfield. They look a yard or more behind to be honest.

2-0 to the neighbours

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

That's a great hit to be fair

Good strike, Hamilton putting in his best ever Hearts performance though.

Jack Hamilton is a frighteningly poor keeper. He is so slow ro react to things. Nealry every time I see highlights of him he can do better at goals.

Some goal by Adam as I type this.

Hearts looking very much like the team that won 3 games last season.

If we play even at 75/80% against them in the semi we'll win. We have players that are of a much higher quality.

[Since452]

You can tell Hearts have been training for much much longer than the other lower league clubs. Still gash though.

Commentator says that Boyce is an even better buy now that Hearts are in the Championship?? If he had scored more last season they might not have gone down.

[Bishop Hibee]

Hearts decent going forward but how bad are Dundee? So slow all over the pitch.

[Hiber-nation]

Looks like Dundee have put all their eggs in one basket signing Adam. They'll never get near hearts with guff like Hamilton in goals and that central defence not to mention Osman Sow.

[Flanny boy]

If they had a couple in there to do all his running they’d be all right because he looks quality on the ball. But they also have Dorrans, who also can’t move.

[Real Emerald]

Dundee are really poor. Hearts will have more trouble with the bus parkers on plastic pitches but Dundee don’t seem to have any clue as what tactics they’re using. They’re awful!

Need to make sure we take the semi seriously. Yes Dundee are slow and gash, but Hearts have looked decent. A bit pace and trickery in wide areas that they were badly lacking last year.

With the caveat that Dundee look shocking, Hearts do appear to have improved considerably from last season; some decent signings. After the worst Hearts team in years tore us to shreds in the last derby there should be no complacency at Hampden, at least.

Dundee are awful - seriously wouldn't read into this game too much - Hearts have the freedom of Gorgie because McPake can't set up a team correctly. Free kick was a great strike, rest of their goals are embarrassing and junior football defending.

Gutted about Alex harris tbh. When he first broke through into the first team it looked like we had a real talent on our hands. Was never the same after he came back from that pretty horrible injury. Always thought after he came back he looked really timid. Don't know if that was a psychological affect from the injury or what but he was just not the same player.

Hearts are rank. They have no control of the ball in the middle of the park and don't look particularly good at the back.

We are absolutely miles better than Dundee so I think Hearts will get a shock when they step up and play one of the best teams in the country, which we are.

We have lost 2 games this season against Aberdeen and Celtic. Out of those two games the only match we weren't the better side is against Celtic at Celtic Park. Hearts are not Aberdeen and they certainly ain't Celtic.

If we keep our main players fit we beat this Hearts team without a shadow of doubt.

:agree: It was a horrible tackle from that thug Hutchison who’s now at Millwall, appropriately. I was listening to Arsène Wenger talking about Abou Diabys ankle injury after a horror tackle at Sunderland. Diaby was possibly the best young midfielder in France before that. He was pointing out when you have a bad ankle injury it can sometimes never heal properly, and results in overcompensating in other areas of the body which then results in injuries in other joints,knee, hip etc. Well never know how good Harris could’ve been. Lovely player to watch when he dropped his shoulder.

Dundee were poor defensively, and Adam and Dorran, whilst good technically, didn't offer their defence much protection.

[Mcpakeisgod]

Definitely. Whatever the shortcomings of the opposition, results like tonight's are great for Hearts' confidence levels. Given that we struggle against the poorest of their teams, we can expect a very difficult game on the 31st.

To anticipate anything other than a tough 90 minutes at Hampden is a triumph of hope over experience. But I'm certain Jack Ross will have the team properly prepared and ready for a battle (unlike the last derby).

But doing it after 1 game...hopefully setting themselves up for a fall.

Obviously 86 still hurts !!

[NAE NOOKIE]

The first 20 minutes decided that game, Hearts tore out of the blocks and Dundee just had no answer to it. Dundee looked slower all over the pitch than Hearts and having a couple of veterans in midfield probably didn't help, but I'm not buying the lack of game time theory, both clubs have played practically the same number of competitive games.

Whatever the case, that was a good performance by the Yams and it would be silly to pretend otherwise. They had a bit about them out wide and passed the ball pretty well, even if Dundee helped by failing to close down quickly enough and their finishing was top notch. It has to be said though that I would back my walking fitba team to put a couple past Jack Hamilton, the guy is a terrible keeper.

The upside is that we now know if we don't compete physically in the semi, and by that I mean match their energy, Hearts have the capability to exploit that as they did tonight, so any thought of complacency should be well out the window. We also know they can be got at as Dundee proved in the 2nd half.

All that being said Dundee are well short of us in overall quality of player and match fitness .... we should ..... we better ..... prove to be a far tougher prospect for Hearts than they were.

I agree they have improved and all their new players with the exception of Roberts are an improvement on what they had but I don't think the game against Dundee told us much we didn't know because the current Hibs team will never compete as badly as Dundee did tonight. They were abysmal.
All I took out of the game is that Kingsley can't half strike a ball and Walker was working harder than he has of late. The question on both is, Can they stay fit?
Interesting that Haring was back to being a sub and Naismith didn't get on at all.
I believe Scott Allan was watching from the stands.

[NOLA]

Which is a good thing for us. We have been playing Celtic, rangers and Aberdeen in recent weeks and they have played a Dundee team who've played 1 game in 7 months and Arbroath.

[Tyler Durden]

When Hearts have teams that want to open up and make a derby an actual game of football, it tends to suit us.

We know exactly how they will play under Neilson. This Hearts team look similar to his last one. Like that team, they lack quality in centre midfield and they don’t have any great pace anywhere.

For me we just play a 4-4-2, trust our full backs to deal with the wide players and we'll win the game.

That first half Dundee genuinely looked worse than both Brora and Cove Rangers. So I'm not getting too worked up over Hearts game last night.

Going to be a tough game regardless, derbies always are. Still buzzing for it though!

[weecounty hibby]

Charlie Adam will be player manager if Dundee before Christmas. McPake is just as poor a manager as he was a player

[JimBHibees]

Turn up and play well is something we rarely do against them though.

Our record recently has been ok our last performance was very poor no doubt however the game before that we won in a canter. Anyone thinking that there are any favourites is in for a shock. They might have an advantage given we are now picking up some key injuries hopefully guys like Newell and Murphy are back fit however game only 2 weeks away so may not.

[weecounty hibby]

C'mon Everton!!!!!!! Merseyside derby today could be a cracker.

[Borderhibbie76]

When Hearts have teams that want to open up and make a derby an actual game of football, it tends to suit us.

We know exactly how they will play under Neilson. This Hearts team look similar to his last one. Like that team, they lack quality in centre midfield and they don’t have any great pace anywhere.

For me we just play a 4-4-2, trust our full backs to deal with the wide players and we'll win the game.

Great Post this which is why we did well against Neilsons Yam teams previously as they do open up a bit and imo that suits us to a tee.

I agree 4 4 2 is the way to go in the semi and play as we have done for most of the league season and we should be too strong for them...but it will be no walk in the park they will be massively up for it and we need to match that.

I think Liverpool will win today.

So do I 😀

[weecounty hibby]

So do I 😀

I heartily disagree. 💚💙💚 (Would probably take a draw)

[easty]

Yeah, me too. I think Everton could have a really good season, but Liverpool are a better side, and won’t play like they did against Villa often.

Dont fancy that Celtic line up at all

You’d think Celtic Park was the only stadium with no fans the way they are going on about it on Sky 🙄

Putting in a young defender, I always admired Lennon for giving youth a chance.

[Tambo]

Would be nice for the arabs to pick up at least a point vs the sheep.

I don’t mind a wee bit of “thinking outside the box” or experimenting in smaller games.

He seems to pull his wackiest stuff when it matters most, and comes across as a problem gambler detached from the consequences of his actions.

Fine if it works, but Champions league games worth ££££££££ and a game of this size are no place to be pissing about imo.

[04Sauzee]

You can get 5/3 on The Rangers

[Sir David Gray]

Think the huns will win this 2-0.

[Jones28]

I didn’t realise Kent had been at Rangers for so long, 88 appearances?

Rangers will win this IMO. 2/3-0.

[TelaStella]

I’ve been struggling to call this all week but now I’m gonna go for the huns maybe just to edge it. Hope I’m wrong, Christ I really do. Aw the best Celtic

I don’t think the Celtic line up is for the fun of it. They have players out that would normally be playing.

Celtic defence should have just stood still and every Hun player would have been offside

I would have put Fabhino in defence and bring on Gini rather than Gomez

[JimBHibees]

How bad is that Celtic goalie

Pickford has done Virgil, terrible challenge, very lucky man.Bit of an assault and very lucky to get away with it.

The whistle going should make no difference if there is misconduct.

[Since452]

If Rangers don't win today they'll need to ask themselves why

[Bangkok Hibby]

There will come a point that CFC can't carry on with him. He'll go to try to ensure 10

Indeed however how he’s stayed on the park is beyond me! No attempt at ball, both feet off ground, scissor motion round both VVD legs.

The demise of Lennon and Celtic has been suggested since he joined them again. One day I guess people will be right but don’t think it is close to that yet.

Rangers start has been pretty overplayed. Before today, game in hand considered, Celtic were still doing slightly better. They are also proven over staying a season.

We will see.

If these incidents keep on happening throughout the season is there a chance the league could be scrapped?
Could end up with mother of all fixture pill ups.

No. No way will it be scrapped because of a fixture pile up.

Great top hand save from much maligned Pickford there. 1-1

Yepp. Teams will play 4 games in a week before the scrap it because fixture congestion.

Because he isn’t working for Rangers? He was the same when they played us at ER.

Is Hartson employed by Celtic in any way? Because he was also at it in the build-up...

[Smartie]

I think anyone who signs players who aren't up to the task and can't pick their strongest team for their biggest games would be even more of a hiding to nothing there.

Is it/would it be up to them?

It’s a waste of time expecting pundits to be impartial. Now, if Tom English was to use ‘we’ when defending his beloved Jambos, it would be a different kettle of fish.:greengrin
