Hearts manager Robbie Neilson believes a draw being a big result for Hibs in the Edinburgh derby shows how good his side have been in the last 12 months.
The Easter Road club didn't win a game in this rivalry last season and it looked as if another defeat beckoned with Lawrence Shankland's first half goal separating them heading into stoppage time. New Hibs signing Martin Boyle came off the bench though to make it a dream start to his second spell in Leith, levelling the game up and making sure it finished 1-1.
Neilson's players are obviously gutted but exuberant home celebrations show the Hearts manager they are a big scalp. He said: “There will be highs and there will be lows. Today’s a low because we didn't get three points but we hope next week we can bring that high again. This is part of football and part of being a football player.
