FT: Hibernian 1-2 Hearts
Hearts manager Derek McInnes tells BBC Sportsound: "Sabah Kerjota, it's perfect for him in a game like this when you know you're going to have a lot more of the ball because he is somebody who has got that guile, creativity, confidence in the final third.
"Blair Spittal playing as an auxiliary right-back. You're just trying everything to try and make this go your way. It took a bit longer than we thought.
"It's all about can someone come up with the big moment? Blair Spittal scores goals like that every day in training. He's got such good quality. A lot of people could snatch at it. He keeps his knee over the ball, stays calm, and it could be such an important goal.
"It's an advantage for Celtic and ourselves because we've won our games this weekend and Rangers didn't but there's another round of fixtures coming up so it can quickly change. Nothing gets decided today.
"A win in your first game [after the split] can give you confidence and impetus. The fact that we've beaten Rangers at Tynecastle already, we're unbeaten at home all season, we're confident with our work and what we do at Tynecastle.
"It's one win ticked off, it's one round of fixtures, it counts for nothing if we can't go and back it up now."

Why not?
One more look at the top end of the league table - and it makes very good viewing for Hearts fans.
Motherwell have taken a big step towards sewing up fourth place.
Clearly Hearts will be hugely relieved to win that game. However, they conceded early on and they could only score once Hibs had two players off the park. It wasn’t that impressive a display for them. They’ll obviously be delighted with the three points and must surely now be regarded as favourites but they’re equally not invincible
Ronnie
Annoying that Hibs shot themselves in the foot and ruined what was promising to be a fantastic spectacle. That’s about as Hibs a performance as you’re likely to see.
Josh
We should have won by more, but fair play to Hibs for an unreal effort in defending with 9. That is a huge result though!

FT: Hibernian 1-2 Hearts
Hibs head coach David Gray tells Sky Sports: "To find ourselves down to nine men, the character the players showed, I can't ask for any more than that.
"It's just decision-making. The goalkeeper makes a mistake but it's cost us. The second one is a mistake, he catches the player so it's a yellow card.
"Full credit to the players that remained on the pitch, they defended their box incredibly. Bodies on the line, defending crosses. At the moment the players that remained on the pitch didn't deserve it [to lose] after what they put into the game."
FT: Rangers 2-3 Motherwell
Rangers head coach Danny Rohl tells BBC Sportsound: "It's tough when you are 2-0 down. You have to fight and you have to do a lot of things right and we did until we conceded the goal.
"Second half, we played a good game, then created a lot of chances. Finally, it was unlucky, we conceded one more goal and then it's tough to come back.
"I've been complimenting my players about the reaction, how much courage we put in, quality, intensity and it was good to see. Today, it's a little bit tough to take but we keep believing and this is the most important thing - four more finals.
"My job is to lift the group. I will stand in front and lead them and then we go again. We showed in the last couple of weeks and months how strong we are growing as a group.There will be no negativity from my side after one game. We have to go forward. I'm strong enough and it's not over.
"We will prepare [for Tynecastle]. We will be ready and we will show again a reaction and then we go again and then let's see which direction it goes."

Motherwell manager Jens Berthel Askou told BBC Sportsound: "The result, it's hard not to say that's very pleasing.
"We've been a few points short over the last five games in terms of how we've performed. Today, I think first half was right up there with us at the very best.
"Second half became a much more difficult half, both because Rangers stepped up and lifted their game and because we didn't have that same sharpness, especially in the final third.
"To stay cool and to still play our game when you have more than 50,000 [fans] trying to help push for the winner and to just be composed and do what we do and first of all defend with our lives, which we needed, and then to produce that final moment of quality to decide the game - really impressed with that."

FT: Hibernian 1-2 Hearts
Craig Halkett tells Sky Sports: "It was a massive three points. I think we started the game really well, conceded a slack goal and put ourselves up against it.
"I think we were a bit wasteful at the start, it took until half-time to come in and reset and then we got the goal back at the right time.
"Kerjota was brilliant. Everyone in there is so delighted for him. He trains really well and when he gets his chance he's shown everybody what he can do."
Player of the match Sabah Kerjota tells Sky Sports: "It's always unbelievable to play in these matches and to win them.
"We have four more games and we will do what we have to do to win every game."

What next in this incredible title race?
Celtic visit Hibs next Sunday. Hearts host Rangers on the following day.
Can we just fast forward to the weekend?
FT: Hibernian 1-2 Hearts
Hearts head coach Derek McInnes tells Sky Sports: "It's such an unusual way to win a game.
"I'm disappointed with the first goal. We just switched off at the back post.
"It's a huge moment in the game when the goalkeeper gets sent off and the second red card helps us too. You need to credit Hibs, I thought the work-rate they put in was sensational.
"We were just looking for that calmness and somebody to step up and the captain (Lawrence Shankland) does that. That was the adrenaline shot.
"To win any derby you have to do a lot right. The game was a bit unusual but I thought we just about deserved to win."

Hearts had 23 shots today, the most from any of their games this season.
Shot number 23 from Blair Spittal proved decisive.

John Collins
Former Hibs midfielder and manager on BBC Sportsound
From a spectators' point of view, the red cards spoil it because it's no longer an even match, because it's one team attacking the other. Tough for the Hibs fans to watch.
You've got to feel for David Gray. They take the lead and things are looking OK and the goalkeeper goes and gets sent off. There's nothing you can do as a manager.
Passlack, he knows he's got a yellow card. Studs up - the referee's got no choice, second yellow card. You just feel for the remaining Hibs players that are on the pitch.

FT: Hibernian 1-2 Hearts
Hibs will get plaudits for a gutsy display, but both red cards were really stupid.
From experienced players too.
Raphael Sallinger must have lost his bearings to handle the ball outside his penalty area.
Felix Passlack's first booking was for squaring up to Stephen Kingsley, the second for a needless challenge on Beni Baningime when he was never going to get the ball.

Rangers to come a week on Monday. Hearts could put them out the title race at Tynecastle, where they're unbeaten this season.
It's a wonderful afternoon for Hearts. Tough going, tough, tough going. It's three magnificent points coming to your nearest rivals, who are trying to stop you. Make no mistake they were here to try to stop you and they didn't manage to do it.
It's a massive, massive win.
FT: Hibernian 1-2 Hearts
Blair Spittal tells Sky Sports: "The red cards helped the situation but at times we probably didn't make the most of it. We just needed to win this that was all that matters."
Lawrence Shankland tells Sky Sports: "It can be difficult when you play against a team who go down to 10. They defended their box really well, it was just a wee bit of patience to get the goal.
"We look after ourselves. Regardless [of results elsewhere] we wanted to come here and win we managed to do that.
"We worked so hard to get to this point it's important we try to finish it off. Another big game coming next week but we'll enjoy this first."
FT: Hibernian 1-2 Hearts
The joy and relief on those faces...
Hearts are in the driving seat.
They host Rangers next Monday. Another huge, huge game!

Will Ferry scored twice to make it four goals in four games for Dundee United
At a glance
United win first home derby in five years
Ferry takes tally to four goals in four games having not scored in almost two full seasons
Westley has Dundee equaliser ruled out before Strain adds United's third
Dundee United romped to a first derby win at Tannadice in five years with a dominant display against city rivals Dundee.
The victory was Jim Goodwin's side's fourth home win in a row - a run last achieved in 2014 - and consolidated them in seventh place in the Scottish Premiership.
Dundee, meanwhile, failed to win their first post-split fixture for the third time in eight seasons and remain in danger of falling into the relegation play-off scrap.
Will Ferry was fortunate to open the scoring for United when Zac Sapsford's deflected shot cannoned off his knee and trickled in off a post.
Iurie Iovu denied Dundee an almost certain equaliser a few minutes later, heading Luke Graham's cushioned volley over his own crossbar when it looked destined for the back of the net.
Joe Westley thought he had levelled for Dundee shortly before the break but, following an onfield review, his brave header was ruled out for a shirt pull on United's Ross Graham inside the box.
With 20 minutes to play, United took control - Ferry unleashing a strike from outside the box which, like his first, kissed the inside of the far post before finding the net.
Spurred on, Ferry dug out a fabulous cross to the back post where Ryan Strain was waiting to plant a header into the back of the net to make it 3-0 and secure all three points.
With St Mirren and Kilmarnock both losing this weekend, Dundee remain five points clear of the relegation zone while United are still seventh, seven points above Aberdeen in eighth.
While United were perhaps fortunate in the manner of the opening goal, they had been the dominant side in the early stages. They had 11 shots, three of which were on target, and three big chances in the first 45 minutes.
Goodwin's side were also a little lucky that Westley's potential equaliser was ruled out as Dundee had started to find a foothold in the game. But the second half was a different story, much of that thanks to Ferry.
Not only did he score twice, he set up the third. The wing-back created three chances and sent in five crosses, the highest of any United player in both metrics.
His 0.76 xG was the highest of anyone on the pitch and his goals came from his only two shots on target. His first marked the third game in a row that he has scored the opener, while his assist for Strain's header was his sixth in the league.
With one year left on his deal, he is likely to be in demand over the summer.
For Dundee, it was bad news in their fight for survival. They had more possession, more passes, and more corners but failed to make any of that count.
While they may feel aggrieved by their disallowed goal, that is now 15 of their 34 league games in which they have failed to score. Only relegation rivals St Mirren have failed to score more often in the Premiership this season.
They managed 10 shots across the 90 minutes at Tannadice, but only four were on target, and generated an xG of 0.85 compared to United's 2.18.
The one positive for Steven Pressley is that St Mirren and Kilmarnock both lost on Saturday so they remain above the danger zone for the moment.
Goodwin on Ferry
Dundee United boss Jim Goodwin: "The all-round performance and the result is what matters most but I thought we thoroughly deserved the victory.
"Great credit to the group, they made amends for the disappointment six weeks ago. I thought we were the better team in every area of the pitch and I was delighted to send our fans home happy.
"We want to finish this season on a positive note and we expect another four performances like that one today."
Dundee manager Steven Pressley: "The game itself I thought there was very little in it in the first half.
"In the second half we didn't manage to impose ourselves on the game and put them under pressure. Ultimately they ran away 3-0 winners and deservedly so.
"It was difficult conditions but for two weeks we've known that, we've prepared for that so there's no excuse from myself or the group. We didn't manage to find the solutions or the answers."
Dundee are at home to St Mirren on Saturday, 2 May (15:00 BST) while United travel to Kilmarnock at the same time.

Dundee United have scored exactly twice in six of their last seven Scottish Premiership games against Dundee, though the exception was their last at home, a 0-1 defeat in January.
Dundee have won both of their last two Scottish Premiership visits to Dundee United, as many as their previous 20 in the top-flight beforehand (W2 D11 L7).
Dundee United have won each of their last three home games in the Scottish Premiership, last winning four in a row on home soil in the division in November 2014.
When in the bottom six, Dundee have won their first game after the Scottish top-flight splits in five of the last seven occasions (D1 L1), including a 1-0 win away at Hearts last season.
Since the start of February, only Youssef Chermiti (7) has more Scottish Premiership goals than Simon Murray (6). Murray has now scored 26 goals in 80 appearances for Dundee in the competition – just two fewer than he netted in 95 games for all his other clubs (including Dundee United) combined in the Scottish top-flight (28).
