Zander Clark calls for action to be taken after Hearts star struck by object in derby win over Hibs

Zander Clark has called on the hierarchy to take action after he was struck with an object during the Edinburgh derby.

The Hearts goalkeeper was left bloodied after he was pelted late on in the Jambos' 3-0 win over their city rivals at Tynecastle. It was a sour note on a perfect day for Robbie Neilson's recent recruit - who will be the main man between the sticks for the foreseeable future after a horror leg-break injury suffered by club captain and Scotland No1 Craig Gordon.

It was an afternoon to remember on the field for Hearts as they moved five points clear of Aberdeen in the race for third spot and European football next season. They have also played one game less than Jim Goodwin's men while they also seriously dented Hibs' own hopes of the top six and competing on the big stage next season. They are in eighth just four points above the relegation play-off position.
