• Hibernian win 2-0 against rivals at Tynecastle• Celtic win 2-1 at St Mirren; Rangers beat Kilmarnock 1-0
Martin Boyle’s derby double piled more misery on basement side Hearts as Hibernian won 2-0 to register back-to-back wins at Tynecastle. The Australia international took advantage of slack defending to score twice in the first 31 minutes.
Hibs were happy to soak up the pressure in the second half and even when the hosts breached their rearguard, goalkeeper Ofir Marciano was on hand to repel the danger. The result will raise questions over Hearts manager Daniel Stendel’s decision to return to
Germany for personal reasons prior to the game and give the squad
Christmas Day off.
