Hearts are set to battle it out with Hibs for the first time this season as the two go head to head over Darren Barr. The Falkirk defender, who Tynecastle boss Csaba Laszlo has targeted as his next summer signing, is wanted by his former boss John Hughes whose now in charge at Easter Road.

Barr, who starred against Hearts when the Bairns put the Jambo's out of the Scottish Cup last season, is rated in the £350,000 bracket by Falkirk. Laszlo is looking to add to his squad after snapping up Ian Black, Spanish sensation Suso, Polish stopper Dawid Kucharski and Algerian defender Ismael Bouzid.
