Cammy Devlin says Hearts can't wait to face Hibs as they look to kick off 2023 with a bang.
Robbie Neilson's men head into the Edinburgh derby showdown flying with confidence after a three game run without defeat since the World Cup shutdown. They've defeated Kilmarnock and picked up a point at Dundee United before coming out on top in a five-goal thriller with St Johnstone last time out to go three points clear of Aberdeen in third spot, having played a game less than the Dons.
The Jambos secured best of the rest behind Celtic and Rangers last term and went on a Europa Conference League group stage adventure. That's the target once again with Devlin admitting their current placing shows the 'depth and character' within the squad after a massive injury list in the first part of the season. Things have not got much better with skipper and No1 Craig Gordon out long-term with a leg break while Craig Halkett and Stephen Kingsley also suffered further knocks.
