Halkett’s Stoppage‑Time Winner Lifts Hearts Five Points Clear in Edinburgh Derby

A third late league victory this season fuels rising ambition at a club newly backed by Tony Bloom.

Overview

  • Hearts edged Hibs 1-0 at Tynecastle as Craig Halkett guided in Sabah Kerjota’s 91st‑minute cross at the back post.
  • Celtic can reduce the gap on Sunday against Motherwell, while Rangers sit further back after a slow start to their league campaign.
  • It was Hearts’ third stoppage‑time league winner in seven matches under Derek McInnes, highlighting their late‑game resilience.
  • The result ended a run of five derbies without a Hearts win, with both sides having entered the fixture unbeaten this season.
  • Hibs captain Martin Boyle hit the bar and had a finish ruled offside, and David Gray admitted their points return remains insufficient.
