Recent football activity in Scotland includes results from the Lowland League West and updates regarding the Scottish Premiership.

In the Lowland League West, Kelty Hearts defeated Stirling Albion 3-2, while Johnstone Burgh and Albion Rovers played to a 2-2 draw.

In the Scottish Premiership, the Edinburgh derby took place at Easter Road Stadium between Hibernian and Hearts. Hibernian entered the match following a Conference League exit against Gent, while Hearts arrived on a six-match unbeaten run.

Hearts secured a 3-1 victory in the derby, extending their unbeaten streak to seven consecutive matches across all competitions. James Wilson opened the scoring in the 14th minute, and Laurent Mendy added a header in the 43rd minute to establish a 2-0 halftime lead. Although Hibernian substitute Adam Mayor scored early in the second half to make it 2-1, the hosts were reduced to ten men after Jack Iredale received a second yellow card for a ‘high boot’. Josh McPake scored shortly after the dismissal to seal the win. Hearts manager Wouter Vrancken praised the team for maintaining ‘focus and concentration’ following Hibernian’s attempt to rally.
