Elliott after derby goal

Stephen Elliott will be looking to open his Hearts goalscoring account in Sunday's Edinburgh derby with Hibernian at Easter Road. The 26-year-old from Dublin has endured a difficult start to life at Tynecastle with injuries limiting him to five substitute appearances since he moved to Edinburgh in the summer. Elliott, who played 45 minutes of last weekend's 3-0 loss to Kilmarnock, is eager for his first start and his first goal for Hearts at Easter Road this weekend. "If you score in a derby game, fans will always remember you for that," said Elliott. "It would be great if I could score at the weekend - I'd really love that. "It's a local derby and everyone wants to win them. It's a massive game for us and we're just going into the game looking for nothing else than a victory."
