EXPERIENCE has triumphed over youth in an Edinburgh derby with a difference, with a Dunbar father and son in rival dugouts.
Councillor Paul McLennan led the Hibs under-14 teams into the match at East Mains, near Ormiston, on Sunday while his 21-year-old son, Scott, was in charge of the Hearts under-14 squad.
Former council leader Paul has been with the Easter Road club for almost five years and works as an academy coach.
It was his side that came out on top, 5-1.
He said: “Hearts were probably the better team for 45 minutes and they scored first. The day was good though and we both travelled up there but went our separate ways.
“After the game, we had a chat about it and there was plenty of talent on show.”
