All the action from both teams' opening match of the Scottish Premiership campaign, held at Tynecastle. The last time these two sides met was back in April in the semi-finals of the Scottish Cup, and saw the visitors score a 118th-minute winner in extra time to claim a 2-1 victory. That led Aberdeen to a meeting with Celtic in the final which they won 4-3 on penalties to shock the Scottish champions

00:01Well, there hasn't been an away win in this fixture in the Premiership since 2017.
00:07So it's going to form at the moment on that front.
00:15Home goal from Graham Shinney.
00:17Harry Milne hitting the frame of the goal.
00:20Lauren Shanklin's spectacular strike ruled out.
00:24Some feisty challenges as well, it's a proper game this.
00:30It's been a good old start to the league campaign for Hearts.
00:34Aberdeen mixing it as well.
00:36So far have been pretty blunt up top.
00:40You'd expect some sort of improvement in the second half from them.
00:48Kevin Nisbet and Pap Gay proving to be big losses in this opening game.
01:00Kevin Nisbet as well.
01:06Here's Jack Milne.
01:11Canista.
01:15It's on by Keskin and Halkit for Shanklin.
01:18Claudio Braga.
01:20He's aiming to give it back to his captain.
01:23Harry Milne.
01:28Not the quality that we saw in the first half, but again the intention's good.
01:32There's a nice bit of flexibility towards that back.
01:36Five at times.
01:38It's going to a four.
01:39It's pushing up one of the full backs to engage the wide man.
01:42It's still keeping our back four intact.
01:44And that's something that Aberdeen I think need to do much better to Jenge.
01:47He's alone with three centre backs.
01:49Need to get one of the wide players of that man there.
01:52Mashiach in touch.
01:54He's really been non-existent in the first half.
01:58Spital.
01:59Borgrevinck.
02:03McEntee.
02:09Jimmy Tallinn has already sent quite a few of his subs out to warm up.
02:15Good kick in a decent position here for Arts with Spital over it of course.
02:36And Milne.
02:38Yeah, we've got options.
02:40Left footed one.
02:41The margin will bend towards penalty spotting equally with Spital.
02:50Spital does indeed leave it for Harry Milne.
02:54Mitoff didn't get much distance on that and see that Nilsen had to put it behind from corner.
02:59Yeah, just as well Nilsen was alert there because it was a horrible punch from Mitoff.
03:04He comes out, commits to it, just doesn't get anything clean on it at all.
03:11The man who took the free kick will take the corner, Harry Milne.
03:17Ross not happy.
03:18Kent and Knusta.
03:19Here it comes from Milne.
03:20Plucked out of the air by Mitoff.
03:21Quick release here.
03:22Quick release here.
03:23Looking for Keskinen but...
03:24Paul Griffith was aware of the danger.
03:25Yeah.
03:26He was aware of the danger.
03:27Yeah.
03:28He was aware of the danger.
03:29Yeah, it was a decent kick.
03:30Keskinen's quick but the cover was really good.
03:32Clarkson.
03:33Over to Shinny.
03:35Vaihd vaihd
03:38Hey.
03:40There it comes from Milne.
03:41What a defense was.
03:42I'm going to look as ξkinen, but I mean he is good enough.
03:43Oh, oh, oh.
03:45You're good enough.
03:46You're good enough.
03:47Yeah.
03:48You were good enough.
03:51But what a defense was out there.
03:53So it's one of those Alles things.
03:54Here comes from Milne.
03:55Cheskin is quick, but the cover was really good.
03:59Clarkson over to Shinny.
04:06Shinny's cross away by Finlay.
04:11Can Aberdeen find a cutting edge in the final third?
04:16Shinny.
04:19They've done well there.
04:20They're under real pressure from Devlin.
04:23They didn't look the favour.
04:25For a while.
04:29A kick given away by McEntee.
04:31Yeah, Milanovic had just bought one there.
04:34He felt the hand coming across him and down he went.
04:46Aiton Clarkson over this.
04:51You see the Yengi among those waiting.
04:53The tallest of those waiting.
04:56And Jack Milne pretty close to him.
04:58Oh, he's got a score.
05:06He has to score that one.
05:07It's a horrible miss from Aberdeen's new number nine.
05:10Oh, I'm just waiting in the net bulging.
05:13He's onside, I think Frankie Kent is playing him on.
05:16And it's a horrible finish.
05:19He's just trying to guide it.
05:21Again, he catches it high up on the calf area and he doesn't make connection with the boot whatsoever, just like his attempt in the first half.
05:28That's got to be a goal.
05:29That's got to be a goal.
05:30It's a brilliant delivery.
05:31And the big man is unopposed with a full goal, just begging to be hit.
05:35Well, he failed to score in 14 appearances for Paul Smith last season, although 10 of those were as a sub, but he really should have opened his Aberdeen account there.
05:45Yeah, again, they've not really posed too much of a threat, but I mean, that's a dream chance.
06:01Five minutes into the second half and you get a 100% guilt-edged opportunity to get yourself level.
06:15Game-changing moments spurned by Kassini-Yinghi, much to heart's relief because their lead remains a slender one.
06:32Look, he's been starved tonight, I mean, service up, but what a wonderful ball that is.
06:38And he takes it with his left foot, I just wonder whether just carrying it and sweeping it with his right foot as well might have been the best option.
06:44We've got boys in the studio that will tell me if I'm right or wrong, but I've got the back to all three of them to hit the back of the net.
06:50That's a massive chance for Kassini-Yinghi.
06:58Shove by Kari O'Bragha.
07:06Kari O'Bragha fans were singing their new song at half-time.
07:10All you hear is Kari O'Bragha.
07:12Well, we ring it, yeah.
07:16It's not bad, is it?
07:26Clarkson.
07:28Misjudged by Kent.
07:30Keskinen.
07:32Trying to find Ossish.
07:36Nielsen.
07:37Milanovic.
07:45Plenty of power on that.
07:47Forced away by Clark.
07:49Shimmy.
07:51Crossed out to McEntee.
07:54Knusta was always getting there ahead of Braga.
07:56He's a really good stop from Clark Clark.
08:01He had to push it strong as well because Yenge was coming in for the second.
08:06Really manufactures the angle well, gets a really powerful shot on it.
08:15Spittle.
08:15Well, offside flag has gone up.
08:20Here's Kari O'Bragha.
08:24Yeah, the attempt is to play a man, so although it comes off of Jack Milne.
08:30He is on an offside position.
08:34Shove gets the free kick off, Korgir Link.
08:36I'm not sure about this.
09:03I mean, he's sliding in to win the ball.
09:05I thought he did on my first viewing.
09:09I mean, is that not a 50-50?
09:12Because he goes around, I think Nick Walsh has jumped in here and penalised him.
09:19Whether, was it Nielsen, I think he was going in.
09:21Whether he gets there first and pushes the ball on to Kray Kalkit.
09:27I'm going to see it again.
09:28An opportunity here for Aberdeen.
09:42Leighton Clarkson over the free kick again.
09:47Jack Milne round the back, but Nick Walsh's whistle are gone.
09:52Yeah, a wee hard chance for Jack Milne at the back post.
09:54Might have taken it with the left foot, but Kray Kalkit was the one that gets punished.
09:58We're having a little look at it in here in the VAR room.
10:00It is Nielsen that goes in.
10:01I mean, honestly, I've looked at it.
10:05Third time I've seen it.
10:06I don't see a yellow card.
10:07I think it wins the ball.
10:08I don't see a yellow card.
10:38Another couple of yards of moving forward.
10:40Might have just allowed Jengi to get that half a yard that it required to get across Kray Kalkit.
10:49Shinny.
10:57Keskinen.
10:57Again, again, again, again.
11:13That one go.
11:14Okay.
11:25Okay.
11:26Paul Gravink.
11:27Aberdeen have improved in this second half
11:47Should have been level in fact
11:48But Hart could be
11:54On the move again here with Harry Milne
11:57Yeah, they've not got into the groove
12:03Hearts in this second period
12:05Aberdeen certainly improved
12:07And it's much better
12:09From their point of view
12:10Not only boss in possession
12:11But the shots on target
12:13Touches in the opposition box
12:15It's all one-sided so far
12:17In this second period
12:18That's gone quiet
12:23The Haas fans are not happy
12:36The Ensign just stealing some yards out there
12:40Nobody's ever done that before
12:42No
12:43Glockson
12:47Devlin
12:51Spittle
12:53Milne
12:57Forcing his way through
13:01Shinny clears
13:03Here's Borgravink
13:05Keep going
13:07McInty's cross
13:09Milne
13:10Was a little bit
13:11Of balance
13:12He's never going to get high enough
13:14He's come in too deep
13:15Too early
13:15A nice little clip
13:17Towards the back post
13:18From McInty
13:21He just clipped up there
13:25Just in too early
13:26Lampardine
13:30We're about to make
13:34A couple of changes
13:35Jimmy Tullin
13:36Has seen enough
13:36Young Fletcher Boyd
13:39And Dante Polvara
13:40Will be joining us
13:42The Ensign
13:50Take it out by Spittle
13:52Lampardine
13:57Are going to make
13:57A couple of changes
13:58Just wonder how long
13:59Before we see
14:00Derek McKenna
14:00Is going to his bench
14:01As will
14:01Shinny
14:15The around the hour mark
14:21So often
14:22The time for changes
14:24And Jimmy Tullin
14:25About to make those two
14:26We mentioned
14:27Here's Milanovic
14:28No doubt about it
14:35First good look
14:36At Milanovic
14:36He looks decent
14:37Doesn't he
14:38Comfortable
14:38Left sided
14:39Of course
14:40But we're going to
14:41Come in
14:41And then
14:42We're going to
14:42Also go on the outside
14:43And he's giving
14:48A final warning there
14:50As
14:50Mousis
14:52Is showing a yellow card
14:53For
14:53Barging
14:55Devlin
14:55Just making
15:00A bit of a nuisance
15:01In there
15:02Isn't he
15:02Absolutely
15:04No requirement
15:04From
15:05Roshish
15:07To get involved
15:08He left me
15:19No choice
15:19There's
15:19Nick
15:20Walsh
15:20Milanovic
15:28Taking on
15:29Milne
15:30Timely tackle
15:33Radio Braga
15:37Eyeing that
15:38But
15:38Jinton
15:39Knew what he was
15:41Doing
15:42Free kick
15:43Knew
15:44Knew
15:45Knew
15:45Knew
15:47They're not going to get much time on the ball
15:50When Braga's around for sure
15:51Jinton
15:54Knew
15:56Devlin has caught
15:58Oshish
15:58And it's a yellow card now
16:00For Devlin
16:01Retribution anyone
16:02That's a little rake down
16:07In the back
16:08Of Ashish
16:10Probably doesn't catch him
16:11That badly
16:13But enough there to get a yellow card coming in
16:15From behind
16:16Knew Devlin
16:17His 32nd yellow card
16:23In the
16:24Scottish Premiership
16:26In his time in
16:26Edinburgh
16:27Leighton Clarkson's had a few of these
16:33He has another one now
16:36Aberdeen will take a lucky break here
16:43But
16:43Devlin is able to clear
16:45Braga
16:48Secures the throw
16:52Yeah it does well
16:54Surrounded by Aberdeen jerseys
16:56And now those changes
17:00To P
17:00Keskinen
17:01Who's off a little
17:02He is one of those going off
17:04Dante Polvara
17:07And Fletcher Boy
17:08Coming on
17:09And
17:10Yengi will also be replaced
17:11Having been
17:12Guilty of that glaring miss
17:14Which
17:14Really should have brought
17:16Aberdeen level
17:18Fletcher Boy
17:26Burst on the scene
17:27A couple of seasons ago
17:28When he
17:29Came on and scored a couple of goals
17:30Towards the end of the
17:31Campaign
17:32Dante Polvara's
17:35Season
17:36Last season
17:38Didn't begin until December
17:39He'll be hoping to steer clear of injuries
17:41Nick Walsh has been told to delay
17:45Proceedings here by
17:47Kevin Clancy
17:49So
17:51The query here is
18:01Fletcher Boy
18:02Fletcher Boy
18:04Has got a different
18:04Shirt number on his
18:05Shorts
18:06I think
18:06Anyway they've got over it
18:11I think they're saying
18:12He wasn't on their
18:13Team lines
18:14Yeah he was
18:15Someone else
18:16He's changed his squad number
18:17This season
18:18From 30 to 17
18:19That's
18:20Obviously caused some confusion
18:22Shaglan
18:29Spittle
18:31Milne
18:32Spittle
18:34Up in the air
18:38From Clarkson
18:39Braga
18:44Milanovic
18:49Sending Braga
18:53One way and then
18:53The other
18:54Yeah really good player
18:55Shiree
19:01Typical desire
19:06Into termination
19:07From Shiree
19:08Oh
19:09Shiree's 30 by 1 there
19:12I think he fell over
19:14But Cammy
19:14Devon needed to be careful
19:16Because he's right on top of him
19:17He's already got a yellow card
19:18He's hunting away
19:20He's in there
19:21Yeah there's nothing in it
19:22Well the joint most
19:29Tackles in the Scottish Premiership
19:30Last season
19:31Came from
19:32Graham Shinny
19:33And Cammy Devon
19:34I think that's possibly
19:35The most
19:37Least surprising
19:38Stat ever
19:38Yeah no much
19:39A surprise there
19:40Milanovic won it
19:48Helped on by Boyd
19:50Oh sheesh
19:52Tackle
19:52He's trapped
19:53All the way by
19:54Craig Halkett
19:55I think Halkett gets a lot of touch on this
19:58Just before
19:59Oh sheesh does
20:00I might be wrong
20:01I might be wrong
20:01But when it's helped in
20:04Fletcher Boyd
20:05Sheesh
20:07He looks favourite
20:08But Halkett
20:09Yeah
20:10Does he get one
20:11Can't see from that angle
20:12This will clear up here
20:13But his presence is big
20:15And it's strong
20:16And he might have just got enough on it
20:17Really top defending
20:19He's had a really good start to the season
20:23Done a lot of work
20:24Extra work in the summer
20:25On his
20:25Body and fitness
20:27I noticed Boyd
20:30Picked that out
20:32Haven't we all
20:35They'll be talking after the game
20:37It's going to be
20:47Shade and Morris time
20:49For Aberdeen
20:49Soon
20:50Such an impact
20:51Some for them
20:51And
20:52They need another contribution
20:54On that front
20:55From Morris
20:56McEntee
21:03Vorgrave
21:04Shade and Morris
21:15For Siva
21:16Nilsson
21:17Will be the next change
21:18For Aberdeen
21:19Okay
21:35This is also
21:35Planning changes
21:36You won't
21:36Have been too impressed
21:38With
21:38Hearts
21:39Second half
21:40Showing
21:40A triple change
21:48Coming from
21:48Hearts
21:49It might be four changes
21:52Spittle
21:53Pogermink
21:57Easy
21:58For Mito
21:59He tried to be
22:01So clever
22:02With the clip
22:02In
22:03To the box
22:03Beautiful pass
22:06From Spittle
22:06So hard
22:19It's going to bring on
22:20Steinfeld
22:23Forrest
22:24Wilson
22:24And Kisaridis
22:25In one go
22:27What can you see
22:37You see four changes in one go
22:52But it's about to happen
22:53But it's about to happen
22:53It's about to happen
22:55And it's about to happen
22:55It's about to happen
22:55It's about to happen
22:56It's about to happen
23:02That's about to happen
23:03It's about to happen
23:03And it's about to happen
23:04Hearts
23:04With Dealey
23:04He loved the insurance of a second goal, especially the way the second half has mapped out.
23:10Yeah, just to gather a little bit more control in the match.
23:21Milne.
23:34Braga up against there, Bourbon's there.
23:48The team change is happening first.
23:51See that Nilsen going off and Shader Morris looking to make the sort of impact he so often did last season coming off the bench.
23:59And Milanovic will come out to the left, you would imagine.
24:06Yep, he's making his way over here and Morris will put it now, that right wing.
24:13Young James Wilson, Colin Forrest coming on, Alex Kisaridis, and Michael Steinvendor.
24:25Yes, Fiddle is one of those going off.
24:30I think Kent and Borgovink as well.
24:36And Braga.
24:39All change for Hearts as they freshen things up with 20 minutes or so to go.
24:48Alex Kisaridis is another who the Hearts fans have taken to quickly.
24:53Scored in the last two League Cup ties and against Sunderland in Greg Gordon's testimonial.
25:00Another one who's analytics are rather good.
25:02Played in Slovakia last season.
25:0416 goals, 7 assists.
25:08And the Greek winger.
25:15Steady fellowship debut for Borgovink.
25:19Alan Forrest.
25:24His brother James came on for Celtic yesterday.
25:31This is his 100 premiership appearance for Hearts, Alan Forrest.
25:37And Claudio Braga, who the Hearts fans have loved a bit already.
25:41And watch the game out from the bench.
25:47I have no link left in this pen Ian.
25:49Can you help me out?
25:53Enough subs, come on there.
25:54Always a bit tricky to follow that.
25:55Yeah.
25:56Not sure if I've managed it, but hey.
25:58Well, plenty of subs, Ian, been made by Derek McInnes and a change of shape.
26:12Going to a back four now.
26:13See there, two straight strikers with Wilson and Shankland up top.
26:20There's Aridus on the left side, Forrest off the right, two central midfielder.
26:24So a complete different shape from Derek McInnes.
26:27He realises that he had no control in the second part of this match.
26:30Paul Vara advancing for Aberdeen.
26:34Now Clarkson and Morris.
26:54Clarkson.
26:55Graham Shinney is well-advanced.
27:02Fletcher Boyd trying to take that on, but it spun through to Clark.
27:09Fletcher Boyd looks quite sharp, doesn't he?
27:12Up there, the young man.
27:15A lot of responsibility again on his shoulders, playing as a lone striker.
27:18James Wilson plattered by Jack Milne.
27:29Something that James Wilson, I think, has really improved.
27:32He's not been in the team a long time, but being prepared to get in front of people and take the contact.
27:38We know that he runs down the channels and runs in behind the fences really well,
27:42but he needs to offer that also as a number nine.
27:4418 now, James Wilson, an outstanding, I was going to say, prospect for the future.
27:52He's doing pretty well in the present.
27:56Excellent last season.
28:00Halkett scored a couple of goals in the league count.
28:04Harry Milne sends in the invitation to score.
28:07And Harks have done just that.
28:16They needed the second goal.
28:19And it's come from Stuart Finlay.
28:23And now they have some breathing space.
28:25And the Harks fans are loving what they've seen.
28:29Now, there's a really brave challenge, first of all, from Aberdeen.
28:33I'm not quite sure how it is at the back post.
28:35It's worked in there.
28:36On the back foot.
28:38No suggestion of offside for me.
28:40He wins the first header there.
28:42But look how brave Stuart Finlay is.
28:46Meet-off is coming out.
28:47He knows he's going to take a sore one, Finlay,
28:50but he's brave enough to make the first contact.
28:52And he gets a huge reward by it.
28:54That's a really good first header, first contact.
28:57But how brave do you want your centre-back to be there?
29:01Finlay's not going to disappoint.
29:04Making sure he just gets there ahead of Mitov.
29:08And getting that better controls I was talking about,
29:11Derek McInnes would have wished for with a second goal.
29:14It didn't look as if it could be offside.
29:16They'll check it, but it looked okay.
29:19And they are checking it.
29:20Kevin Clancy on VAR,
29:25drawing the lines once more,
29:26so there will be a slight delay
29:28before we find out whether this one stands,
29:31having seen Lawrence Shanklin's spectacular strike
29:34rolled out in the first half.
29:43Yeah, it's the first contact that comes in.
29:46Canoester, I think, gets his head on it.
29:48It's him, it drops quick.
29:49And he wins it header.
29:51But I know his arm, his left arm,
29:53I think it's out straight.
29:53Of course, that won't count,
29:55but I think he's just ahead.
29:58That guy thinks it's onside.
29:59Yeah, I think it is.
30:01Watching on his phone,
30:03but Kevin Clancy and VAR,
30:08HQ, still drawing the lines.
30:11On this one, the goal stands.
30:13And Hearts have at last doubled their lead.
30:18He's a happy little man.
30:20And he's not alone.
30:22I noticed he was checking on his phone.
30:23He wasn't even watching our coverage up here, Ian.
30:25But, yeah, Hearts will be really pleased
30:27by that Derek McInnes making changes
30:30to the shame,
30:33to the personnel,
30:35but brought themselves that second goal,
30:37which is so important.
30:41And they have so much to do now
30:43with a quarter of an hour to go.
30:45They didn't worry about their lack of firepower,
30:54having lost a lot of goals out of the team,
30:56although they did have that big moment
30:58with Niengier in the second half.
31:03There's Arenas with the cross.
31:09Well, Aberdeen are going to have to take some rest now.
31:12Gets a port up to Fletcher Boyd.
31:14Morris, Milanovic, need to get inside.
31:17Plays a tighter three.
31:18Just ask some more questions,
31:20but with that,
31:21you're going to play with a lot more risk.
31:24Hearts have been two regular strikers as well.
31:26We'll just look to try and break away
31:27and punish them
31:28and try and look for that colourful goal.
31:39Shredo Morris.
31:44Well, as it stands,
31:50Hearts are top of the league.
31:53Only 37 games to go after this one,
31:55but that's where Tony Bloom wants to see them one day.
32:00He looks excited about that.
32:02Hearts have been top of the league, doesn't he?
32:05I'd like to see it at the end of the season
32:06rather than at the start,
32:07but exciting times ahead
32:10under Derek McInnes.
32:14And Chisman's Scottish football inside, out.
32:17יכels!
32:27Yeah.
32:29Shengland.
32:30threatened.
32:35Leib falsch.
32:39Has to have a yellow card
32:41for Milanovic.
32:42Yeah, the shagwind knows it had to come in as well, just cuts inside, looking to spray it wide
32:49No complaints from me there, in that yellow card, he's low
32:55That's what I was, reckless
33:08Well the hearts fans are having quite a night now
33:11Harry Milne to send this in, but Mitoff will claim that comfortably enough
33:17Aberdeen are going to bring on Esther Sokola soon, he missed the run in last season through injury
33:33Well Aberdeen will be thinking back to that chance that Yengi had
33:36I don't know, that can change the whole reflection of the match
33:40Shanklin trying to force his way through, McIntyre struck offside, Flagg has gone up now
33:53Ricky Devlin is also going to come on with Esther Sokola
34:11Milanovic is about to be replaced
34:18Craig Harkett, terrific again
34:20Yeah, he's been good
34:22Keep him free of injury then, as I said he can be so important, particularly in a three, I know they've got in a four now, but
34:26His experience, his bravery, his leadership qualities in that back three could be so important
34:38Tires
34:43Parkson
34:43How can you push?
34:45Oh Clark couldn't hold on to it
34:47And Ashish, couldn't react to it but enough
34:50I know Ashish, couldn't react to him but enough, that's another chance, Sander Clark does not create with us
35:00push out, save as well, it just drops to Ashish, I think Stuart Finlay's presence just stops on
35:06pulling the leg right back to get the angle it required to get it on target, can you see there
35:12yeah sort of half stops
35:13Nikolaus Milanovic has at least looked like he's got something to offer for Aberdeen but he's being replaced here
35:30also going off, Nicky Devlin
35:34coming on and also Esther Sokla as we enter the final 10 minutes, Devlin taking the armband as well
35:43yeah Jansen will come over to that left back area, Shinny going off
35:48so two strikers, 4-4-2 for both sides
36:03Finlay
36:04he's been good as well tonight, McEntee's been very aggressive in the middle of the pitch, I know
36:18the industry of Devlin has caught the eye at times but I think McEntee's done a real good job in there beside him
36:23sport
36:28Polvara
36:37with Evelin back on his feet
36:45free kick off Calusta
37:19One side.
37:20Oh, she's the other.
37:21Kisaridis is on his way.
37:26Kisaridis is on his way.
37:31Kisaridis, Forrest now.
37:47Vivaldi in!
37:50Forrest!
37:51Come on, Polvara.
37:52Taboo into his indeberry.
37:53Well, Polvara does well to get across, I just thought he was going to
38:00drag it with the left foot back onto his strong right side.
38:01Jensen's trying to show him down the line.
38:03the cover's coming from the inside but he's just determined to get on that inside I just thought
38:07there just drag it again come at Jensen
38:10Finley naturally is in there again having scored Hart's second
38:27Harry Milne Hockett also there
38:33that's gone wrong side Mithos and she should made the break to the left here and he was completely
38:42wide open
38:43Shea DeMaurice Ampadine's player of the year last season
38:48and linked with Luton
38:54Luton has picked out Morris
39:04Nicky Devlin running on
39:06the corner gives Ampadine some hope
39:17Devlin leaving it for Clarkson
39:19Whipped in by Clarkson
39:31It was mightily close after Oshish flicked it on but it's another corner
39:38I just wonder whether Jack Milne could have thrown himself at this just like Stuart Thunley did for Hart's second goal
39:47maybe I'm doing him a bit of a disservice there good defendant
39:54there's a VR check going on here
39:57so the corner won't be taken yet
39:59Kevin Clancy having a look at something
40:02is he involved in it yeah check complete over
40:05I'm not sure what he was seeing there could be other officials
40:08Kirk is over quickly and
40:13Bonkson's corner doesn't clear the first man
40:16Hart's could be bursting away here with
40:19Forrest and Kisaridis
40:21Forrest helps it on here
40:24James Wilson will quite
40:25get there in time though
40:27he just couldn't take it any stride
40:29I wonder whether there might have been a wee use of the arm as well
40:33in the first breakaway but
40:34I mean nonetheless
40:36really good break from Hart's
40:38I think VAR would have caught up with that handball
40:44had
40:46a goal come about
40:48but you know running out of time if they are to
41:06salvage something
41:10in their opening Premiership fixture
41:18certainly looks like it will be
41:2324 league meetings between these teams now without
41:26an away win
41:302017 was the last one when Derek McInnes was of course
41:34in charge of Aberdeen
41:38Sokla
41:40to Morris
41:44Finlay could tippie home for a corner
41:46good break from Aberdeen but brilliant work in the wide areas as well
41:49from Hart's
41:50white boys working back so well for us that time
42:00they need something quick Aberdeen they've got a bit of height on the pitch now with the
42:03substitutions they've made
42:08Clarkson gets good height on that
42:16is the readers couldn't quite keep it in
42:19he's unlucky
42:26Oshish
42:34Clarkson
42:46No way by Clarkson
42:49Forrest
42:51Forrest
42:53Schenglin
42:59Trying to this thing out of the game now Hart's keep the ball there's no point
43:04and been too desperate to get that third goal they've got a really good cushion as it is
43:09Aberdeen looks as if they're just trying to settle into a shape they're not going to press them high
43:13But
43:20go in direct to Wilson but Jack Millen was always winning that McInteat
43:27Sockler moved in on him, Jensen, Ossis, Aberdeen needs something and they need it now but
43:39Ossis lost his way and now McIntyre gets the free kick and as he said he's had, he's putting
43:45some shift around as well, yeah, you can see Aberdeen are behind hearts in terms of the
43:52decision-making and just kind of, yeah, this is Forrest we're going to look at in this little break, it's a brilliant break, you can see there the use of the right arm, I felt it at the time, so it would have been called off, I was chopped off, I found this way at the back of the net but yeah, I just feel Aberdeen are behind hearts in the preparation to the start of the domestic week campaign, I can understand that.
44:22Hearts are going to give a debut to one of their new arrivals, Icelandic midfielder Thomas Magnusson, he's only just completed his move in time to make his debut here, described as a dynamic midfielder who can attack
44:42and defend
44:43Lawrence Shanklin is going to
44:48be replaced
44:51Just shutting up shop, obviously with the head of McIntyre's now
44:57We think there will be four minutes
45:02added on, Jensen
45:04McIntyre
45:08is into this as well
45:10Another one who's had an excellent game
45:16Forrest
45:19Yeah, I think I've mentioned him already and I can see I think he's been absolutely superb
45:24and the fans are letting him know what they think of his performance
45:28He's done some things that might not catch the eye but he's always been a presence in the middle of the pitch
45:36Four extra minutes is confirmed
45:43And this, in five minutes now with this change, Ron Shaglin denied the goal of the night
45:51And what would have been one of the goals of the season by the offside decision via VAR
45:56What a hit it was
45:59But there will be plenty of coming throughout the course of this campaign
46:02As he goes off
46:04Thomas Magnusson comes on for his half debut
46:08He's taken the armband
46:14Milne
46:24Over there with Forrest
46:30Clarkson moving in
46:32Milne
46:34It's a right old scrap over there and it's gone the way
46:38Bob Hart's now
46:40Yeah, waiting Clarkson might have just lost control for a brief second there I thought he had a real swipe
46:46Harry Milne unfortunately he'd missed him
46:50Nick Walsh is just telling him that just calm down
46:52There's no point in getting yourself sent off now at this stage in a match
46:58I don't think this free kick is going very far
47:02Yeah, this will be getting kept in the corner
47:07It's not very often that they keep it in the corner right enough
47:09Generally it ends up being won and given away again
47:22Milne
47:26Kisaridis
47:30Sokola
47:35Morris
47:36So we're feeling a little too late now for Aberdeen but Morris does get a free kick
47:46He's done so well to get out of that
47:49Not quite sure how Morris got clear
47:51All the challenges that was coming in about him
47:55Might be hearing Nick's whistle in our sleep tonight Eric
47:58Yeah, he likes to blow it doesn't he?
48:00He's a few VR checks as well
48:09Disappointing start for Jimmy Tallinn
48:12and Celtic up next weekend
48:21We stood by Clarkson
48:27Boyd blocked by Wilson
48:31Ianson
48:35He's got to make up with this heart side and they've got so many leader types
48:41within the group
48:42It's so important if you want you then go and make a mark of a season
48:45Okay for Xander Clark as Nicky Devlin challenged
48:59I'm not sure if Xander Clark's been caught here but Nicky Devlin I think he's entitled to try and get there
49:06He actually gets to the ball probably just before Xander Clark takes it into his gloves
49:17And we mentioned it's Aberdeen Celtic on Sunday and you can see it with us from 11.30 on Sky Sports Football
49:24Plenty to ponder for Jimmy Tallinn
49:34Although of course we mentioned once again that big chance for Yangi early in the second half
49:38That might have changed the picture
49:56This game is now drawing to a close
50:12We'll hear Nick Walsh's whistle for the last time shortly
50:16It's an opening statement of intent from Derek McInnes' hearts in the Scottish Prenniship
50:32Then Shinny's own goal got them going
50:36Going from the high of winning the Scottish Cup to the low of that
50:40And then Stuart Finlay scored a second
50:42And then Stuart Finlay scored a second
50:44Aberdeen with the big miss in between
50:46From Cassini-Yengi
50:48But it was another powerful performance
50:52From Hearts who are looking the part
50:54Under Derek McInnes
50:56For me to lean
50:58Certainly lacking firepower
51:00At the moment
51:02Aberdeen will need to change that
51:06But these
51:08Are exciting times at Tynecastle
51:12Orange Shanklin
51:14Phenomenal strike
51:16Did not count for them sadly
51:18But there's a whole lot to look forward to
51:20Tony Bloom would have enjoyed his first ever football match
51:24In Scotland
51:26It ends at Tynecastle
51:28Hearts 2
51:30Aberdeen 0
