Robbie Neilson is looking forward to a reunion with old pal Lee Johnson - but plans to arrive champagne in hand when they meet again this weekend.
The Hearts and Hibs bosses are former Tynecastle team-mates but it's been radio silence since Johnson took the reins at Easter Road in May. There's no animosity between the pair, just a laser focus on the task at hand.
And on Sunday that's securing three points in a hotly-anticipated first Edinburgh derby of the campaign. The Jambos are hot favourites following a difficult start to the season for their city rivals, although Hibs did open their Premiership account with a dramatic late win over St Johnstone last weekend. Hearts, too, made a winning start against Ross County and Neilson insists he'll be putting friendships aside in a bid to make it six from six, only then will he pop in to visit his capital counterpart.
