Hibernian boss Pat Fenlon praises his side's "battling qualities" following Thursday's goalless draw at local rivals Hearts.

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.
