Both sides finished with 10 men as Hibernian and Hearts fought out a pulsating 1-1 Edinburgh derby draw at Easter Road.

Eighteen-year-old Gordon Smith wrote his name into Tynecastle folklore by handing the visitors the lead on his Clydesdale Bank Premier League debut but Anthony Stokes equalised nine minutes after the restart with his 11th goal of the season.

That was almost immediately followed by red cards for Ruben Palazuelos and Darren McCormack after the latter appeared to headbutt the Spaniard.
