Hibernian 1-3 Hearts result, stats and report

Hearts looked set to drop points at Rugby Park after Jamie McCart's own goal put Kilmarnock ahead, but Stephen Kingsley struck four minutes from time to earn a share of the spoils. It was a result that flattered neither side.

Kevin Nisbet gave Hibernian the lead at Easter Road but Martin Boyle's second-half penalty earned Aberdeen a point, ending a match that both sides will feel they could have won.

Hibernian created the chances but could not take them. Kilmarnock took theirs. That is football, and that is why Hibs lost.

Hearts ground out a 2-1 victory at Falkirk on Tuesday evening, with goals from Ben Krauhaus and Owen Eames enough to claim three points despite Falkirk's James Wilson pulling one back. It was a result that flattered neither side, but Hearts had the ruthlessness when it mattered.

Hibernian have lost three Scottish Premiership matches on the bounce and kept zero clean sheets in their last ten. Falkirk arrive battered but dangerous enough to make this deeply uncomfortable for the home side.

Nordsjælland arrive at Tynecastle on a five-match winning run in this competition, having conceded just twice. Hearts have not kept a clean sheet in either of their two Conference League matches. Someone has to change their tune on Thursday night.

Dundee United host Hibernian at Tannadice on Saturday with one thing abundantly clear: somebody is conceding goals. The question is how many.

Derek McInnes admits he feels 'guilt' and expects a hostile reception on his first return to Tynecastle since leaving Hearts for Rangers, a fixture with real title-race stakes as Celtic lead, Rangers sit four points back and Hearts trail by eight.
