At last, there's a home game to look forward to with the visit of Hearts in the "best derby in the world". Joe Newell will definitely return to the Hibs line-up tonight in a game that could go either way. Hibs are doing well at Easter Road and Hearts are on a winning run. This is the game for Elie Youan to make an impact in, as he did at Tynecastle in October. As he says himself “Every game is special and you want to score every game. But this game for me is extra special. If you score or contribute in this match, then you never leave the memories of the fans. There is a huge rivalry between the clubs and the atmosphere is crazy. The whole fixture is very exciting, and it is a game that you need to give that extra 10% percent.”

I'll not say too much about Hearts except beware of Lawrence Shankland. He's scored 4 goals in their last 3 games, but is still only part of their team.
