Hearts interim boss Steven Naismith on derby day frustration and confirms influence of old managers

Interim Hearts manager Steven Naismith was disappointed with his side's showing in their 1-0 loss in the Edinburgh derby to Hibernian at Easter Road last weekend and revealed the influence of Roberto Martinez and David Moyes on his early days in the job.

The former forward was given the position in the wake of Robbie Neilson's dismissal in Gorgie last week, but suffered a defeat in in first game in charge against Hibs days later. It was a sixth loss on the spin in all competitions for the Jambos, who have relinquished third spot to Aberdeen in the Premiership, and now trail Barry Robson's men by five points with six games left in the season.

Naismith has admitted he was left frustrated by his team's performance against the Hibees, and detailed where he felt they had gone wrong.
