The final Edinburgh derby will take place at Easter Road on Sunday 29 April at 12.45 and will be shown live on BT Sport.

There had been fears from Hibs’ fans that the game could have been played at Tynecastle, but these have proved unfounded.

The post-split fixture list was announced yesterday and both capital clubs will have three home games.

Hibs start with a trip to St Mirren (Saturday 19 April, kick off 3pm) before the derby.

They will then face Partick Thistle at Easter Road on Saturday 3 May (kick off 3pm) followed by a trip up to Dingwall to face Ross County (Wednesday 7 May, kick off 7.45pm).

The club’s final match of the 14/15 Scottish Premiership season will be at Easter Road against Kilmarnock on Saturday 10 May, kick off 12.15pm.

Hearts will entertain Ross County at Tynecastle on Saturday 19th April, kick-off 3pm then make the short journey across the city to face Hibs.

Tynecastle then hosts two home games in three days, with Kilmarnock visiting on Sunday 4th May at 3pm, and Partick Thistle on Wednesday 7th May, kick-off 7.45pm.

Hearts will round off the season with an away match for the fourth season in a row against  St Mirren on Saturday 10th May. Kick-off is 12.15pm and the match potentially may be broadcast live on BT Sport.
