The Premiership season has only just begun but there is no time like the present to kick-off the campaign's derby days.
Sunday will see Hearts travel to Easter Road to take on city rivals Hibs. And Jambos boss Robbie Neilson insists his side used the upcoming clash as a method of motivation as they prepared for battle during the summer. The Tynecastle outfit started their season by taking all three points from visitors Ross County on Saturday and will be looking for more of the same on the road this coming Sunday.
It is not a long trip across the capital to Leith but it is an important one, with Neilson readying his squad for an electric atmosphere. And the tough task has provided the Gorgie side with a push in the right direction as they look to come back even bigger and better this time out after securing third place last season.
