Five things we learned from capital derby

Stockton also entered the fray before the game was done, but, despite the greater attacking options and a more open tussle, there was no way back for Craig Levein’s men.

In fact, Hibs almost started the second half the same way they had the first. This time it was John Mcginn who tried to catch their rivals cold, but his long-range drive was just wide of the near post.

Christophe Berra then had to look lively to make a timely intervention as Mcginn’s cross in from the flank was weighted perfectly for Murray at the back post, but the Scotland defender slid in to leave Hibs to settle for a corner.

With 74 minutes gone, Berra forced Ofir Marciano to dive low to his right and halt his header and Stockon should have buried his effort four minutes later.

But, for all the extra desire and obvious fight, Hearts still found themselves wanting against their rivals, who dominated the first half and refused to concede control in the second.
