00:00Full time here at Timecastle in the Edinburgh Derby. It's finished, Hearts 1, Hibs 0, a 93rd minute goal from Craig Halkett giving the jambos, bragging rights, three points and a five-point cushion at the top of the Premiership after seven games, although Celtic do play tomorrow.
00:17What scenes inside the stadium when Halkett hit the net? Really nice finish actually from a Sabah-Curgeot across. The game looked like it was going to be a draw, really difficult conditions in the wind. Hibs made it a physical battle, tried to bypass the midfield and they had the best chance prior to Halkett's goal when Martin Boyle hit the underside of the bar and made it through the second half.
00:37But what this Hearts team has is plenty of spirit, determination and momentum and they kept going right until the end. This is the third time already this season that they've scored a winning goal in stoppage time, adding to wins over Livingston, over Dundee United.
00:51Jubilant scenes here at the end. Hearts are looking like a team that are going to definitely push for the title or push, certainly challenge the old firm. Derek McInnes, the manager, will try and quell talk of this team being title challenged.
01:05But let's face it, on the evidence of the first seven games, they are well and truly in the conversation.
01:10There's something stirring here at Tyne Castle. Their first derby win for Hearts since 2013 in December.
01:15That day it was a late goal by Lawrence Shankland. This time it was Craig Halkett who did the business.
