Hibs will be all out for Edinburgh derby win

HIBS captain Ian Murray is desperate to get his side off to a winning start in 2012 when they take on Edinburgh rivals Hearts this afternoon.

Hibs, under new boss Pat Fenlon, are one point and one place off the bottom of the SPL and a derby victory will go a long way to bringing the feel-good factor back to Easter Road.

Hearts have their own troubles, with financial woes meaning players have not been paid. But Murray expects nothing less than the usual full-bloodied clash today. He said: “It’s a strange situation for both clubs. It’s hard for the Hearts boys as they don’t know when their next pay cheque is coming. It’s a shame for them.
