Hibs vs Hearts on TV: Channel, live stream and kick-off details for crunch Edinburgh derby clash

The Edinburgh derby is certainly the game of the weekend with both Hearts and Hibs desperate for a big result.

Robbie Neilson has been sacked by the Jambos following a horror run of results that has Aberdeen now sitting third behind Celtic and Rangers while St Mirren are now just one point behind the in fifth. The Hibees are also on a poor run of defeats and something will have to give as Steven Naismith takes to the dugout for the first time in his interim role as Tynecastle boss.

Both sides have ambitions of European football next season with just two games to secure top six and make sure they are in the mixer. Hearts have a six point advantage and superior goal difference over Livingston in seventh so are as good as in - despite it not being confirmed mathematically - but Lee Johnson and Co are just one point ahead of the Lions in the chase for the top half. The capital showdown promises to be both edgy and exciting as both clubs really can't afford to lose and must get all three points and their season's back on track ahead of the real business end of the campaign. Here's all the information you need.
