On Sunday, two Scottish Premiership league matches were postponed due to UEFA Cup competition were successful for Edinburgh clubs - taking advantage of the first Rangers' failure in the match against city rivals Hibernian, Valdas Ivanauskas' Hearts bounced back from their setbacks and defeated Motherwell away to rise to second place. In the match held in Edinburgh, the hosts, Hibernian, took the lead against Rangers in the 8th minute with a header from Chris Killen past goalkeeper Allan McGregor. Later, the guests from Glasgow had to defend more often, but were saved once by the goalkeeper and once the ball had to be cleared from the goal line by Karl Svensson. In the middle of the second half, after a pass from Chris Burke from the wing, Rangers' debutant from Slovakia Filip Sebo managed to equalize the score, but with nine minutes left until the end of the match, Paulo Le Guen's men were punished again by C. Killen, who was left free to score his second goal with a header. At the end of the match, Hibernian's hero received a red card together with Phil Bardsley, but it did not change the result - the hosts won 2-1. In the other match of the day, Edinburgh Hearts, who had suffered a setback at home in the league and UEFA Cup matches, met the bottom team Motherwell away. Due to injuries and disqualifications, four main attackers, including Edgaras Jankauskas, could not help the team, so for the first time from the start of the match, newcomer Andrius Velicka took to the field, who was in the starting lineup with Marius Zaliukas, Saulius Mikoliunas and Deividas Cesnauskis. Kestutis Ivaskevicius remained on the bench. In the first half, neither team managed to create more dangerous opportunities, and Hearts suffered another loss - D.Cesnauskis was injured after a collision with Richie Foran, and V. Ivanauskas was forced to make a substitution by sending Neil McCann onto the field. Nevertheless, it seems that the saying "there's no bad that doesn't turn into good" was proven right, because in the 69th minute, the latter broke into the opponents' half and made a precise pass to the young Jamie Mole, who defeated goalkeeper Colin Meldrum and scored a goal. Shortly after, A. Velicka was replaced by Finnish Juho Makela, and the Hearts team maintained their lead and won three points, allowing V. Ivanauskas to rest easier and surpassing Rangers to rise to second place in the standings. Sunday match results: 2 - 1 8' [1 - 0] Chris Killen 65' [1 - 1] Filip Sebo 81' [2 - 1] Chris Killen 88' Chris Killen (Hibernian), 90' Phil Bardsley (Rangers) sent off 0 - 1 69' [0 - 1] Jamie Mole Standings:
