Hearts kept up their push for Uefa Cup football with an Edinburgh derby win that owed much to the defensive shortcomings of their city rivals.

With the visitors asleep, Michal Pospisil stroked Hearts in front inside the first 30 seconds.

And a shocking mistake from keeper Andrew McNeil allowed Andrew Driver to shoot into an empty net on 22 minutes.

Hibs wasted two good early chances but, despite enjoying a lot of the ball, rarely threatened after the break.

Hearts must now hope Aberdeen slip up in their remaining matches, if they are to nick third place on the last day of the season.

For Hibs it was another miserable day and their winless streak since lifting the CIS Cup continues.

Hibs have made a habit of gifting their local rivals goals in recent seasons and the visitors were at their calamitous worst right from the kick-off.

Chris Hogg and Shelton Martis failed to deal with a long, high punt, letting the ball to bounce between them and Pospisil squeezed past his dithering opponents to slide in an angled shot.

Hibs immediately carved out two wonderful chances to level the game but teenage strikers Damon Gray and Steven Fletcher were both ponderous in front of goal, allowing defenders to close them down.

However, John Collins’ side continued to defend with all the composure of giraffes on ice and Hearts were pouring on the pressure.

McNeil made a great reflex save to keep out a close range Roman Bednar header and the keeper made another fine block to stop a fierce shot from the same player.

The 20-year-old custodian then undid his good work with a catastrophic blunder that led to his team falling further behind.

McNeil advanced to gather a loose ball but, under no pressure, let it squirm from his grasp and Driver was on hand to hook the ball into an empty net from 15 yards.

Guillaume Beuzelin tried his luck with a fizzing long range effort but it flew straight at Hearts keeper Craig Gordon.

McNeil had to look lively to tip over a free-kick from Laryea Kingston and there was a let-off for Hibs on the stroke of half time when Christophe Berra’s header crashed off the crossbar.

The visitors made a bright start after the interval and Hearts defender Christos Karipidis was fortunate to see only one yellow card for violent hacks at Dean Shiels and David Murphy .

Gordon saved free-kicks from Merouane Zemmama and Fletcher but the keeper had little else to do as his defenders kept Hibs at bay with ease.

In the final minute, the goal opened up for Shiels inside the penalty box but the midfielder scuffed his shot, summing up a wretched day for Hibs.

Booked: Fletcher, Whittaker, McCann, Sproule.

Quote: from Jacksons Column

Winning against hearts was a huge relief to all of us. That victory should now end press speculation about a jinx, and we can look forward to more successes against out city rivals. The reaction of our fans throughout the game was absolutely tremendous and i was delighted to join them in celebration at the end of the match. There were only 4000 Hibs fans in Tynecastle that day because of the reduced ticket allocation, but they sounded more like 14000, especially when the final whistle was blown. At the end of the day it was only three points – but it was a great three points to win.

1986 saw a return to glory for the fans, so it seemed. In one week Hearts could achieve the double. Following a 31-match unbeaten run, Hearts had to go to Dundee and nearest challengers Celtic were at St Mirren. A seven-goal turnaround was needed for Hearts to throw away the championship. Until the final seven minutes Hearts were going to be champions once more. Albert Kidd scored twice for Dundee in the last seven minutes, and Celtic won at St Mirren (who incidentally had a new £1m stand the next season) by five goals to nil. Hearts were shattered by this and went on to lose the Scottish cup final 3-0 to Aberdeen.

There wasn’t much between Hibs and Celtic on
Saturday when the championship was decided by a
single goal and the Parkhead men knew they had
been in a game at the finish.
Hibs showed a lot of determination and effort
and young Brazil would learn a great deal from
taking part in such an important match.
He had a most competent game and proved that
his ability will allow him to operate in midfield or
in the middle of the defence.
Now we are three fixtures away from completing
the League schedule and l’m setting target of five
points so that we can wind up wit an average of
one point per match.
Such a figure sh0uldn’t be beyond us with two of
the games at Easter Road and it would be
encouraging to finish on a winning note.
Ayr United. tonight’s opponents. seemed to be in
dire trouble just a matter of weeks ago but they
staged a remarkable and praiseworthy recovery to
hold their place in the Premier League.
lt’s true they were well beaten at lbrox on Satur-
day but injuries have taken their toll lately and Ayr
gained the required results when it mattered..

Eddie Turnsbulls Page

Hibs last three matches have enabled us to gain a
two-goal lead over our Swedish opponents in liurope
and to collect three away points in the Premier
League. and 1 would say that represents reasonable
progress.
It is true that against Oesters we might have
scored more goals on pressure but they were pushed
back into their own penalty area and defended
stoutly. However. I am not dissatisfied with the first-
leg lead and it will take three to beat us.
Last Saturday’s win at Ayr was hard earned in a
game of three penalties. United were given two spot
kicks and Mike McDonald saved the second one at
an important stage of the game.
This was a clour. fighting performance. with l-libs
taking a powerful grip in the final 15 minutes.
It was the same type of contest at Kilmarnock
with more concentration on endeavour than skill. ln
the end. a draw was quite fair.
So the first lap in the League programme will be
completed this afternoon with the derby game
against Hearts. I saw them on Monday and rated
them unfortunate to lose to Celtic.
At least. both teams are sure to go forward today
in search of goals and that should mean better
entertainment or the fans.
