Hearts man Calum Nieuwenhof hopes to have the final laugh over his Australian Hibs counterparts on derby day
Hearts midfielder Calem Nieuwenhof insists Edinburgh and Aussie derby bragging rights are at stake when Hibs visit Tynecastle today.
“I played with Adam Le Fondre back in Sydney and also Lewis Miller growing up, played with him. Myself and Lewis are kind of from the same area back in Australia, he was an age group above me but we’ve always been in and around the same sort of teams so I know him quite well. Although Nieuwenhof is new to the Edinburgh derby experience, he has a good idea of what to expect from new Hibs boss Nick Montgomery after going up against his Central Coast Mariners team in the A-League.
Nieuwenhof also hopes his experience of the Sydney derby back home stands him in good stead for what’s to come in Gorgie. "The best match in the league is against Sydney FC, they have the biggest crowd, they are the most intense. Those were the games I loved playing in most. They got really heated, I think all derbies have that extra emotion in the game.
