Moment Edinburgh's Hearts v Hibs derby stopped to remember 13-year-old Devin Gordon


The Edinburgh derby stopped on the 13th minute tonight as both sets of fans paid a heartfelt tribute to young Devin Gordon.

Hearts and Hibs players and fans stood together and remembered the tragic 13 year-old who died recently in an incident at Bathgate train station.

The teams fought out a 0-0 draw at Easter Road tonight but they came together to remember Devin.

The Bathgate Academy pupil was a massive Jambo and his mother works at the club.

Hearts have been working with mental health groups in recent days to try and raise awareness.

In their fixture against Celtic both sides wore 'FC United to prevent suicide' jerseys.

The social movement FC United brings together folk from across Scotland to unite in a shared belief that every person has a role to play in preventing suicide.

They want to encourage more football clubs to become involved.

Last week the Hearts gaffer, Robbie Neilson, said: "We were all shocked and saddened to learn the devastating news about young Devin. Our thoughts are very much with his mum Jen, family and friends.

"We can all get better at talking and listening to each other. If you're experiencing difficulties or know of someone who you believe may be, please reach out and speak."

Kirstie Cusick, United to Prevent Suicide social movement development manager, said: "To anyone who is experiencing difficulties, please reach out to talk whether it is a friend, family, colleague or a helpline.

"Talking and listening can help save lives."
