Calderwood rues late leveller
Boss Colin Calderwood admits Hibernian only had themselves to blame for passing up the opportunity to claim a long-awaited victory over Edinburgh rivals Hearts.
Both teams battled out a 2-2 draw in an entertaining Clydesdale Bank Premier League tussle at Easter Road, as the 10-man Jambos snatched a point thanks to Stephen Elliott's late leveller.
It was Hearts who had taken the lead through Ryan Stevenson but the match turned in Hibs' favour when Marius Zaliukas was sent-off and Liam Miller converted the resultant penalty before Ricardo Vaz Te netted what looked to be the winner with 10 minutes to go. However, Elliott had the final say with a lovely volley resulting from Craig Thomson's free-kick just four minutes later to snatch a point and deny Hibs their first derby win since May 2009.
"We were certainly punished for not doing our jobs," said Calderwood.
"I'm happy enough with how we created the chances and how we played in the second half but we didn't get through the big moment. We didn't do our job at the big moment and that was the reason they got the excellent second goal. It was a great response by them.
"But we had just lifted the place, we had given the fans everything they had hoped for and we snatched it back from ourselves."
