 Today's game provides teenager Gordon Smith another chance to add to his derby goal tally when Hibs travel to Tynecastle today Smith scored when the clubs met at Easter Road on 3 January, with the game ending in a 1-1 draw. He enjoyed the game and the goal and is keen to do it all over again - with the result being more positive this time around. With Calum Elliot doubtful due to a knee injury, Smith is hoping to get a starting place alongside David Obua.He said: "I got confidence from scoring against Hibs and I thought I did pretty well overall against them. I would be a real bonus for me to score. Even to be involved in the team and win would make me happy. If I'm playing I'll just concentrate on this game, not on the fact I scored in the last derby. I'd be delighted to start. I've started four games this season so that's exceeded my expectations and I want to continue. The manager has done well under the circumstances with all the injuries. If he was to play me I'd be happy but as long as I'm involved in the 18-man squad." |
