Jefferies delighted with derby win

Manager Jim Jefferies was overjoyed as his Hearts side came out on top following a feisty Edinburgh derby at Easter Road. David Templeton and Stephen Elliott, with his first Hearts goal, were on target in the 2-0 win over Hibernian, who finished with 10 men as captain Derek Riordan was dismissed for a crude challenge on Rudi Skacel two minutes from time. But that was not the only incident as missiles were thrown on to the pitch by both sets of supporters in incidents which are likely to be brought to the Scottish Football Association's attention. Jefferies was pleased with the response from the limp display in the 3-0 loss to Kilmarnock as Hearts climbed to fourth in the Clydesdale Bank Premier League. The win was set up by Templeton's 19th-minute opener. The 21-year-old winger held off the challenge of four would-be tacklers as he cut in off the left flank before tucking in. "It was a terrific goal," said Jefferies. "He's got great feet, a wee change of pace, great skill and he can finish - the goal was every one of those things."
