Paul Hanlon has labelled Hibs' Edinburgh derby win as a 'really special day'.
Lee Johnson's men grabbed the capital bragging rights thanks to Kevin Nisbet's second-half winner at a sold-out Easter Road as the men from Leith keep their top six destiny in their own hands going into the final round of fixtures ahead of the league split.
The capital club went into the showdown - like rivals Hearts - on a poor run of results and came up against a new man in the dugout in the shape of Steven Naismith following the Jambos' decision to axe Robbie Neilson last weekend following the Tynecastle defeat to St Mirren as hopes of a top three finish in Gorgie continue to fade away with Aberdeen now five points clear after six wins on the bounce.
