Sir Andy Murray and Josh Taylor, both prominent Hibernian supporters, have stated they want Hearts to win the Scottish Premiership title. The boxers and tennis champions shared their views ahead of the Edinburgh derby scheduled for Easter Road this Sunday. Hearts currently lead the league table as they pursue their first championship since 1960.
Murray indicated that a title win for a team outside the Old Firm would benefit Scottish football. Taylor echoed this sentiment, suggesting that a Hearts triumph would break the long-standing dominance of Glasgow clubs. However, other Hibernian supporters have expressed conflicting opinions regarding their rivals' success.
The upcoming match at Easter Road remains a focal point for both clubs. Hibernian currently sit in the bottom half of the table, according to the Scottish Professional Football League. Security measures have been increased for the fixture following recent crowd disturbances at previous derbies. Hearts will move closer to the title with a victory, per reports from Sky Sports.
