Murray still on derby high

Hibernian striker Simon Murray admits he is still on a high after his Edinburgh derby winner.

Murray broke a seven-game drought with the only goal against Hearts last month and has since netted two more to take his Hibs tally to 13 goals since joining from Dundee United in the summer.

And the forward aims to take his confidence into today’s Ladbrokes Premiership encounter at Hamilton.

Murray said: “It was a great night, my first derby and it couldn’t have gone any better getting a goal in three minutes. It’s one I will remember for my whole life. It was a great moment for me.

“I have had a great reception actually from the fans since I’ve been here but they obviously wanted to get one over on their rivals, which made it even better.

“But now I’m just concentrating on the next game and the next game. I am happy so hopefully I take it into the game on Saturday.”

Meanwhile, Jamie Walker is set to return to the starting line-up when Hearts host Ross County.

The midfielder was restricted to a substitute appearance last week following a hamstring injury, but boss Craig Levein has said he will start.

Former Dundee United midfielder Prince Buaben has made a return to training, but will likely have to settle for a place on the bench.
