Hibernian 0 Hearts 2: Christian Nade's first-half strike and a late goal from Gary Glen gave Hearts a 2-0 victory over 10-man Hibernian in their tense Homecoming Scottish Cup fourth-round tie at Easter Road.

Steven Fletcher missed a great chance for the home side early on and was then sent off on the half-hour mark for a reckless challenge on Gorgie skipper Christophe Berra.

Hibs were further punished seven minutes from the interval when Nade knocked in an Andrew Driver cut-back from close range, and in the third minute of injury time Hearts substitute Glen knocked in number two.
