Hibs vs Hearts on TV: Channel, kick-off time and live stream details for Scottish Cup capital derby

The Scottish Cup takes centre stage this weekend and the tie of the round involves Edinburgh's big two.

Hibs and Hearts battle it out in the fourth round with both experiencing very different campaigns at present. Robbie Neilson and his troops are flying high in third spot as they continue to go from strength to strength post-World Cup shutdown. They've already defeated the Hibees this year picking up a 3-0 win at Tynecastle earlier this month. Lee Johnson's men continue to struggle for consistency but both sides have in-form fire power in the shape of Kevin Nisbet and Lawrence Shankland.

The Jambos went all the way to the final last year before losing out to Rangers and the dream of going one step better starts this weekend. Hibs need some cheer and a kick-start of form and this could prove the perfect occasion to get their season up and running and keep the fans on side with a decent cup run. Here's all the information you need ahead of the Edinburgh derby.
