The scope matters. Friendlies, wartime fixtures and local competitions can produce different totals, so any comparison should state what it includes.

The scoreline ages; the bragging rights do not.

What is the biggest Hibs vs Hearts win?

Hibs own the largest victory in a competitive derby: 7-0 at Tynecastle on 1 January 1973, a result the club still marks as part of its history.

Hearts won a friendly 10-2 in 1893, but their biggest competitive margin is five goals. That includes an 8-3 league win in 1935, a 5-0 Scottish Cup success in 1955 and a 6-1 League Cup victory in 1956. The most resonant modern result is Hearts’ 5-1 win in the 2012 Scottish Cup final.
