Hibs got their first home victory over top of the table Hearts in 10 years and Alex Millers first ever victory over Hearts as HIBS Manager at a sold out Easter Road

Hibs took the lead after 5 minutes when Henry Smith could not hold a shot from Paul Kane and Eddie May tapped it home after one of his trademark late runs into the box

Hearts equalised 10 minutes later when John Colquhoun skipped past Alan Sneddon out wide and sent in a cross for you know who?

Paul Kane gave HIBS the lead just before half-time when he headed home an Eddie May corner

There was no further scoring but there was a coming together of both sets of fans after the final whistle that was handbags at nine paces

Ex HIBS Manager John Blackley then employed by Tottenham Hotspur as Chief Scottish Scout sat in the Stand and was reported to have been looking at John Collins
