Famous Hibs derby wins

Hearts 3, Hibs 4 (March 1, 1958): Hearts were to go on and win the league this season and Hibs went into this Scottish Cup tie as underdogs. But it was the teenage Joe Baker who grabbed the headlines - and all the Hibs goals - as the Easter Road side returned to the east end of the city victorious.

Hearts 0, Hibs 7 (January 1, 1973): The 100th League derby became a match which Hibs fans will never forget, a 7-0 thrashing of Hearts at Tynecastle. It took Hibs only nine minutes to open the scoring, Jimmy O’Rourke grabbing the first of his two goals. Arthur Duncan and Alan Gordon also notched doubles with Alex Cropley knocking home the fourth goal as Hibs went in 5-0 up at the interval.

Hibs 2, Hearts 1 (March 10, 1979): Easter Road was packed for this Scottish Cup quarter-final to see Hibs win with goals from a young Gordon Rae and George Stewart.

Hearts 0, Hibs 1 (August 27, 1994): Derby days had become a subject of dread for Hibs fans as Hearts notched up an incredible run of 22 runs without defeat. But that was all brought to an end with a goal from skipper, Gordon Hunter, the victory all the sweeter as it came at Tynecastle.

Hearts 0, Hibs 3 (December 19, 1999): Dubbed the ‘Millennium Derby’, this match saw Hearts again humbled on their own turf as Hibs clocked up their biggest win over their arch-rivals since 1973. Dirk Lehmann and Franck Sauzee had Alex McLeish’s team 2-0 up at the interval and Kenny Miller underlined their supremacy with a third in the last minute.

Hibs 6, Hearts 2 (October 22, 2000): Hibs scored six against Hearts at Easter Road for the first time since 1938. Andy Kirk scored early for Hearts, but a hat-trick from Mixu Paatelainen, the first derby treble since Pat Quinn’s in 1967, had them reeling, with David Zitelli, John O’Neil and Russell Latapy making Colin Cameron’s late strike little consolation
