Hearts boss Robbie Neilson

Robbie Neilson hopes the sight of a huge travelling support can inspire Hearts to more Edinburgh derby glory against Hibernian at Easter Road on Tuesday.

The Tynecastle side are unbeaten in their last four visits to Leith and have won three of them.

With in-form Hearts third in the cinch Premiership, Neilson would love to see the 3800 away fans treated to another memorable occasion at the home of their team's bitter rivals.

He said: "It's massive that we can take that size of support there.

"There aren't many games nowadays where we can take the full allocation.

"When we go to Rangers and Celtic now, we just have slithers of fans so it's very pleasing that we still get the full away end at Easter Road and hopefully we can put on a performance for them.

"It's always a good time to play a derby.

"If you're on a good run, like we are, it gives you a chance to escalate it; if you're not, it gives you a chance to kick-start things. If we perform well, we think we can get a result.

"The players will be ready for it, they're looking forward to it. We've got a number of guys who haven't experienced it before. It will hopefully be an entertaining night.

"We're going into it in decent form but a lot of the time that doesn't matter. It's about how you start the game, so we have to be ready for it.

"We've got a decent record down there recently but we have to go and perform. We can't go down there with any half-measures."
