Hibs player ratings vs Hearts as Aiden McGeady impresses amid Scottish Cup derby defeat

Hibs are out of the Scottish Cup after derby day disappointment led to a 3-0 defeat at Easter Road to Hearts.

Lee Johnson's side started on the front foot and after six minutes Josh Campbell's flick smacked the post. But against the run of play Josh Ginnelly emphatically smashed Hearts in to the lead as Hibs couldn't clear their lines in the box. Back and forth both sides went in the first half with Campbell seeing a half chance from a header go wide while Michael Smith forced a save from David Marshall before the break.

In the second half, the home side had the better of the chances again with Elie Youan causing the Jambos defence problems before Lawrence Shankland made history by smashing home and equalling the record of John Robertson as the first Hearts player since to net 20 goals in a season. Tobby Sibbick then netted a stunning individual goal to seal yet another 3-0 derby win for the Gorgie.
