Gray: Hoops are toughest test but my lads nailed it

DAVID GRAY reckons passing the toughest defensive test in Scottish football has set Hibs up perfectly for a crack at table-topping Hearts.

The Hibees were rock solid as they shut out Celtic to grab a point at Parkhead and end a run where they had shipped 13 goals in six previous games.

Now comes their biggest game of the season so far with the derby at Tynecastle on Saturday.

The fact Hearts have climbed clear of Celtic at the top only adds spice to an already fiery capital showdown.

Gray said: "I'm delighted for the players. We've maybe let ourselves down in some games by switching off at key times or not having that full desire to keep a clean-sheet.
