Stephen Kingsley has warned Hibs high-flying Hearts are still nowhere near their best.
Robbie Neilson’s in-form outfit go into Sunday’s Edinburgh derby Scottish Cup showdown as firm favourites. Hearts are clear in third spot in the Premiership while their city rivals sit sixth going into the Easter Road cracker.
Kingsley’s team warmed-up for the showpiece tie with a magnificent 5-0 win over Aberdeen, but the defender says that, despite the emphatic scoreline, the Tynecastle side were not at their peak and still have more in the locker. The Hearts ace explained: “It couldn’t have been any better. Obviously, Aberdeen had a tough game the other day, but we knew it would still be a tough game, as it is any time we play them. So I’m just delighted that we won, first and foremost, and the manner we played. It is only positive getting that result against a team like Aberdeen when we are going into a big game on Sunday.
