"Tomas Magnusson scored a late winner as the Scottish Premiership leaders Hearts defeated Hibernian 1-0 in a tense Edinburgh derby to tighten their grip on top spot. Magnusson, on as a substitute, popped up with the game's decisive moment in the 88th minute to spark jubilant scenes inside Tynecastle. The Jambos are now six points ahead of Rangers, who have a game in hand, and nine in front of Celtic, who have two games in hand."
"Derek McInnes, the Hearts manager, handed a first start to the club's January signing Islam Chesnokov, while Frankie Kent replaced Craig Halkett, who was suspended after his red card in the defeat at St Mirren on Tuesday last week. There were also two changes to the Hibs side that started last Wednesday in the win against Dundee United as Jordan Obita and Elie Youan made way for Nicky Cadden and Kai Andrews."
