Frail blasts Hibs slur

Hearts coach Stephen Frail revealed that his side had been spurred on to derby victory by comments made by Hibernian boss John Collins earlier this season.
Collins described the Jambos as a pub team, but his words came back to haunt him as Marius Zaliukas netted the only goal of the game at Easter Road on Sunday.
Frail commented: "We used that as a major part of our motivation. We are far from being a pub team.
"Those comments hurt the players. The remarks were pinned up on the dressing-room wall and it spurred them on.
"I just hope we can use the result to kick on. It gives us fresh impetus to catch Aberdeen and get that European place."
