Lee Johnson admits he and Robbie Neilson have already started the Hibs-Hearts mind games - and dubbed it the ‘Curly Toe v Cuban Heel Derby’.
The new Easter Road boss is a former team mate of his Jambos counterpart after a short spell at Tynecastle 16 years ago.
And while he poked fun at his own height when he revealed Neilson’s nickname for him, Johnson insists he’ll be doing everything in his power to cut Hearts down to size when the whistle blows on the new campaign.
