Those are the two teams. The atmosphere are electric here at Easter Road.
The teams are making their way out of the tunnel, to a roaring welcome from the crowd. It's derby day in the Scottish capital.
KICK OFF! Hearts, playing from right to left, get the match underway.
Hibs are in their home kit of green shirts with white sleeves, white shorts and green socks, while Hearts are sporting their first strip of all burgundy with white trim.
Early chance for Hibs at this free kick from the left, which is in a decent crossing position.
The free kick is hit low into the box, before bouncing to Hanlon. He cannot get a good-enough strike away though, and shins it out of play.
Hibs have made the better start here. The atmosphere is unbelievable as Hearts immediately find themselves under the cosh.
It's deafening at Easter Road, as Hibs see three shots from range all blocked.
Hearts are starting to get back into the game after weathering an early storm, but they are yet to have a chance at goal.
Hearts swing in a corner from the right, but Williams rises above a crowd of bodies to punch the danger clear. Stevenson then counters for Hibs down the left, but his cross fails to find a teammate at the other end.
CLOSE! Tapping is so unlucky not to score here. He gets on the end of a Paterson cross from the left by sneaking in at the near post, but forces a fine save from Williams. It looks as if the shot may still bounce into the back of net, but Hanlon can scramble back to clear.
McHattie is down after an aerial clash with Robertson, but I think he will be fine to continue.
Free kick to Hibs on the left touchline here. Great chance to get this into the danger zone.
Craig, the Hibs captain, curls in a wonderful ball to the edge of the six-yard box, which is frantically headed behind by Hearts for a corner.
Craig jogs across to take the corner from the left, which is cleared by Hearts, but only as far as Robertson on the edge of the box. He smashes a half-volley at goal, but it flies just wide of the top right corner.
OFF THE BAR! Forster comes close to opening the scoring. He creeps in at the far post as Craig delivers another superb free kick from the right. He gets his header in, but it comes back off the bar, and Hearts can scramble it away.
It's been a pulsating opening quarter to this match. The tackles are starting to fly in now, but there is still plenty of goalmouth action.
Hearts are having a nice spell now as they respond to Hibs' early pressure. They have a corner on the left.
Hamill takes it, McKay meets it, but it's an easy catch for Williams. Paterson looks to have taken a whack in the air when competing for the ball there.
Still no goals, but that's not to say that it hasn't been an entertaining game.
YELLOW CARD Robinson commits a silly foul and goes into the book. Good free kick position here.
CHANCE! Another teasing delivery from Craig, who curls it to the far post from the left channel. Nelson, wearing a protective mask, gets to it with his head, but can't hit the target.
CHANCE! Great chance for Cummings, as he spins and moves into the area from the left touchline. He gets into a great position, but wildly slices the ball past the far post as he opts for power.
Hibs are back in the ascendancy at the moment. Hearts having to deal with more attacks from the home side.
SAVE! Let off for Hearts as Cummings' looping header is palmed over the bar by MacDonald. Corner.
Hearts break down the right after a second corner from Hibs is cleared, but the home side can recover and stop the danger.
It's been a very good game so far, but it still remains goalless. We haven't seen too much action around the Hibs penalty area though, it's been mainly at the other end.
There have been a few wasteful moments from both sides, in particular with Hibs, but I must say that the commitment from the defenders to throw their bodies in front of shots has been second to none.
HALF TIME: Hibernian 0-0 Hearts
That first period flew by. No goals yet, but we've had a lot of entertainment in a half that Hibs have been on top in.
Forster headed against the bar for the home team, while Tapping drew a fine save from Williams for Hearts. Goalless at the break though.
The teams are back out and ready for the second half.
KICK OFF! Hibs, playing to the left in this half, get the second period up and running.
Hibs have an early handball shout against McKay as they appeal for a penalty, but the referee gives nothing.
Hibs show some brilliant passing once again as they attack down the left. Craig slides a lovely ball to Collins, who pull back for Stevenson is perfect, but the latter slices his shot wide. Every outfield player for Hibs has now had an attack on goal in this match. I find that astonishing, but Hibs have been well on top.
MISS! Wonderful opportunity for Hibs as Hearts switch off at the back, apart from McKay. He does enough to just put Robertson off as the Hibs man meets a cross at the near post with a diving header, but puts it just wide. He knows that was a massive chance.
YELLOW CARD Stevenson goes into the book for a foul on Nelson just outside the box.
I've lost count of the amount of times a Hearts player has thrown himself in front of a shot from Hibs. Robertson is set-up nicely on the edge of the D, but his shot is instantly blocked.
It's still all Hibs at the moment. They are putting Hearts under some enormous pressure, but they're holding firm at the moment.
GOAL! Hibernian 1-0 Hearts (James Collins)
Finally Hibs get their goal, and it's a wonderful goal from Collins. The corner is nodded down at the far post into the path of Collins, who powers the ball on the turn into the top corner.
HIBS CHANGE: Heffernan replaces Cummings.
How will that affect the rest of this match? Hearts have to come out and attack now, having been on the back foot for practically the entire game.
Easter Road is absolutely buzzing at the moment. The Hibs fans are loving life, and it could be about to get better for them. They have a free kick on the left touchline.
Craig takes it, but Hamill can clear.
CLOSE! Huge chance for a Hearts equaliser. McHattie curls a corner from the right in to the near post, where McKay beats McGivern to it. However, he nods it wide of the front stick and knows he should have done better.
HEARTS CHANGE: Smith comes on at the expense of Tapping.
Heffernan attacks the second ball from a Hibs free kick by flicking it on from the near post to the back side of the box. He has so much room but his header drops wide as no teammate can get on the end of it.
GOAL! Hibernian 1-1 Hearts (David Smith)
What a way to make an impact off the bench. Hearts have reacted well to falling behind. Smith beats several players coming in from the left before smashing a shot on the edge of the box. He forces a save off the shins of Williams, before following up his own shot and putting it into the back of the net. The final touch is off Ryan McGivern and it may well go down as an own goal, but the Hearts fans won't care.
HIBS CHANGE: Tudur Jones comes on for Robertson.
YELLOW CARD Jamie Walker goes down in the Hibs box and wants a penalty, but instead sees a booking for taking a dive. There is definitely contact, but I think he makes it too obvious that he is looking for a penalty. A little less flailing and he may have got one. The Hibs players were furious with Walker for the incident, and we had a little spot of handbags for a minute.
Hibs may have been on top for huge periods of this match, but it really could go either way now. Hearts' reaction to falling behind has been spot on.
CHANCE! Stevenson hooks a cross in early from the left, which finds Collins. He gets in behind his marker well, but the ball bounces off the top of his header and over. Into the final 10 minutes of the match.
PENALTY TO HIBS! Such a silly challenge by Jordan McGhee. He gets ahead of Stevenson as the ball is running out of play, before looking behind him, sticking out a leg and bringing the Hibs man down. So stupid. Liam Craig will take the penalty.
GOAL! Hibernian 2-1 Heats (Liam Craig)
Craig handles his composure well as Hearts try a few delay tactics. He takes a long run up, gives MacDonald the eyes, before rolling the ball into the bottom right and sending him the wrong way.
YELLOW CARDS Amid the madness, Paterson and Cairney both picked up bookings.
Can Hibs hang on to this lead at the second time of asking? They have five minutes of normal time to do so.
Easter Road is bouncing, they sense victory.
HIBS CHANGE: Local lad Sam Stanton is on for his boyhood club, in place of Paul Cairney.
Forster gets his head to the ball from a corner on the right, but it's held by MacDonald.
There will be five minutes added time.
Hearts putting Hibs under some late pressure, but nothing too significant at the moment.
MISS! Heffernan pounces on a loose bouncing ball inside the Hearts box and gets a shot away, but he curls it wide. That should be it.
FULL TIME: Hibernian 2-1 Hearts
There goes the final whistle, and Hibernian get the bragging rights. Craig scores the winner after Smith had cancelled out Collins' opener.
That's it from me, I hope you enjoyed the match. Goodnight.
