Hearts star Toby Sibbick in Hibs 'like they've won the league or a trophy' gap claim over derby draw

Hearts defender Toby Sibbick believes Hibs celebrating 'like they've won the league or a trophy' highlights the gap between the Edinburgh rivals at present.

The capital duo shared the spoils in last weekend's first Edinburgh derby of the season after the home side hit a last-gasp leveller with the final kick of the ball. Lawrence Shankland had fired Robbie Neilson's men in front with his first goal for the Jambos with David Marshall on top form to deny them on a number of opportunities.

With just a one goal lead, the Hibees always had a chance of hitting back and they did just that through returning fans' favourite Martin Boyle as he fired low beyond Craig Gordon to spark wild scenes between the players and fans in Leith. Fans spilled onto the pitch following the leveller with Lee Johnson's men lapping up the applause at the end of the game. In contrast, Hearts were left dejected and disappointed at picking up just one point at the home of their city rivals, with Sibbick claiming the celebrations and the disappointment of not winning the derby highlighting where both teams are at presently.
