A stunning 30-yard strike from Derek Riordan, his sixth goal of the season, wasn't enough to give Hibs their first win in Paisley in almost 11 years as Chris Innes hit back in injury time at the end of the first half to earn St Mirren a well-deserved point. The return of Sol Bamba saw Hibs boss John Hughes reshuffle his defence again with skipper Chris Hogg moving out to right-back as the Ivory Coast star took his place alongside Ian Murray while David Wotherspoon stepped forward into midfield.

STARS from Hibs and Hearts Football Clubs were on hand to help open Ross High School's first dedicated football pitch last Friday. Hibee Colin Nish, an ex-pupil at Musselburgh Grammar, and Jambo Ian Black, who attended Ross High, mingled with the youngsters before both schools' under-13s' teams played the first match on the new, plush surface at Ross High playing fields. The £7,000 pitch is the culmination of months of hard work by a number of local authority departments, with the Healthy Living depar  

The 19-year-old was convinced his long-range shot, deflected by the head of team-mate Colin Nish, was destined for the back of Balogh's net only for the Hungarian keeper to touch the ball onto the post. ive moment at Tynecastle can now, of course, only be a matter of conjecture but, with each of the Capital's big two giving as good as they got in what was never a classic, it did look as if one goal either way would prove enough to win it.  

IT WOULD appear that Hearts owner Vladimir Romanov has grown tired of his manager's public demands for money to reinforce the Tynecastle squad, after Csaba Laszlo said he could not discuss possible targets without expecting to be sacked.  

Footballers have picked up some strange injuries over the years in quite bizarre and freak circumstances.

Had Hibs managed to secure a victory at Tynecastle this afternoon they would have gone joint top with Celtic in the SPL table for at least 24 hours with the Hoops not due to take on Falkirk until tomorrow afternoon.  

HEARTS and Hibs played out a goalless draw in the first Edinburgh derby of the season this afternoon.  

Hearts will be without suspended midfielder Eggert Jonsson for Saturday's Edinburgh derby.  

Aberdeen have confirmed the Scottish FA has contacted the club seeking an explanation for criticism of referee Steven Nicholls earlier this week.
