Hearts have sensationally trolled Hibs for a message they posted prior to today's game - with the 1-1 draw enough to take the Jambos into fourth place and trump their rivals in the process.
Yutaro Oda's early goal looked to put Hearts' fears well out of sight, but Alex Cochrane's red card gave Hibs a chance, and with Kevin Nisbet levelling from the resulting free-kick, it was advantage Hibs from there onwards. However, Lee Johnson's men failed to capitalise on their extra man advantage, with the score finishing even.
That meant Hearts finished fourth, and with tensions boiling over on the touchline, it appears to have got to Hibs' minds as they not only booked their spot in the Europa Conference League qualifying round, but finished above their rivals in the process. And Hearts hilariously trolled Hibs on Twitter with a 'Game Oda' message - in response to a Hibs tweet at the start of the game.

Hibs tweeted a picture of a games arcade stating ‘Get up. It’s derby day”, with a mockup of Mortal Kombat with Hibs and Hearts characters on the screen.
However, after their triumph, Hearts tweeted a similar background - with the captain ‘Game Oda’, a tribute to their goalscorer securing a higher-placed finish than that of their rivals and a ticket back into European competition.
