Hibernian manager Pat Fenlon has praised his team's "battling qualities" following Thursday's goalless draw at Hearts in the Edinburgh derby.
Hibs had to withstand a number of attacks from the home side at Tynecastle in order to come away from their local rivals with a point.
"It was hard-fought," Fenlon told Sky Sports News. "We had to defend really well. It was a battling performance rather than a classic.
"I'm delighted with the first half of the season. There's no comparison to last season. We've got some real battling qualities."
The point has kept Hibernian in fourth place in the /football/spl/2012-13/table.html">Scottish Premier League table.
