Marks out of ten for every Hearts player as Craig Levein's side climbed off the bottom of the table after today's 2-1 win at Easter Road.
Player ratings scale - 10: One of best performances you've seen. 9: Outstanding. 8: Very good. 7: Good. 6: Average. 5: Poor, 4: Very poor. 3: Terrible day at office. 2: Abysmal. 1: One of worst performances you've seen.
Manager Craig Levein celebrates with the Hearts players at full-time.
A strong presence behind the defence. Was beaten by Mallans long-range strike. The reaction of defenders suggested he could have done better.
Started quite leggy and was beaten a few times by Daryl Horgan. But grew into the game and became a useful attacking outlet down the right, netting the winner. Should be commended for sticking with it when he could have hid early.
Started wing-back before reverting to a winger role but was incredibly wasteful when he got into good areas.
One of his most consistent performances for the club. Familiar with playing in a back three, he covered Aaron Hickey really well and read the game excellently.
A huge improvement on recent weeks helped by Hibs insistence on knocking it long to Florian Kamberi. Defended everything confidently. The type of display Hearts fans expect from him.
A welcome return to the line-up. Didnt do too much wrong but was clearly not 100 per cent fit. When Daryl Horgan skipped past him he stopped and simply put his head down.
