Hearts player ratings: Four key stars 3-0 win over Hibs with major contributions at both ends of park

Zander Clark: Showed Hearts remain in safe hands without Craig Gordon. Great reflex save to keep out a richochet off Newell then produced a stunning double stop to deny Magennis and earn a clean sheet in his first Edinburgh derby - 8

Michael Smith: never looked flustered until his last involvement which was to earn a booking for scything down Hibs substitute Aidan McGeady where he seemed to injure himself in the process and was taken off - 6

Toby Sibbick: Outstanding recovery tackle on Youan in the first half denied what looked a certain goal and made a key block on same player after the break. Rock solid - 8

Kye Rowles: strolled the first half and was often the one mopping up the danger as Hibs pressed for a way back into the match in the second half - 7

Alex Cochrane: bossed his area in the first half, became more exposed after the withdrawal of Halliday early in the second half but stuck to his task to help his team see out the clean sheet - 6

Andy Hallday: a solid showing from the midfielder ensured the Hearts fans were signing his name as he was withdrawn following a head knock 10 minutes into the second half - 6

Cammy Devlin: had major role in Hearts' early opener by forcing the mistake out of Hibs defender Fish and was then never far from the action. Sometimes sloppy in possession but never stopped - 7

Robert Snodgrass: hugely influential at the base of Hearts' midfield. Dictated much of the play in the first half and was the one who put his foot on the ball and steadied the ship during Hibs’ second half dominance - 8

Barrie McKay: made a few penetrating runs and always carried a threat in first half but faded in the second before being withdrawn in the 76th minute - 6
