Hearts vs Hibs is the second best derby in Scottish
football, both clubs are located in Edinburgh and have history together which
makes the game even more special when then they play each other. Both set of
fans have complete passion and love for their club as they want their team to
be the best in the city. The atmosphere at Edinburgh derby’s can be
electrifying which raises the profile of the game and grabs the attention
across of Britain. The games themselves can be very entertaining to watch as
bad tackles and fights can happen at any time during an Edinburgh derby. Both
teams know what a win would mean to the fans and the pride they would take away
from the game.
The most recent Edinburgh derby between Hearts and Hibernian
took place on the 3rd of January 2015. The match ended 1-1 with Hibs
taking the lead through Jason Cummings but shortly later Jamie Walker equalized
for hearts. The official attendance for the match was 17,279. This is a great
turn out for a Scottish Championship match as some would believe being in the
second division of Scottish football is embarrassing for big clubs such as
Hearts and Hibs. However the loyal fans will not turn their back on the club
they love and will help the clubs to get back where they belong in the top
flight of Scottish football.
The next Edinburgh derby will take place on the 12th
of April 2015 and will be played at Easter Road. This match could be a must win
for Hibernian as they push to get promoted back into the Scottish
Premiership. while Hearts look certain to win the league
