Tens of thousands of fans found a way to beat the Edinburgh derby TV blackout.

UEFA ban domestic football being shown live on Champions League nights.

But that didn’t stop more than 100,000 people watching Hibs take on Hearts .

Several supporters broadcasted the William Hill Scottish Cup clash live on Periscope, which Hibs won 3-1 for place in the quarter-finals.

It’s not the first time fans have stuck two fingers up at UEFA.

Last year – also in the Cup – thousands logged on to watch Rangers beat Kilmarnock while other supporters streamed Hibs’ win over Hearts on social media.

English sides have previously chosen to ignore UEFA rules by showing their games live on TV. The FA was in turn fined, although revenue from broadcasting rights exceeded the punishment.

Hibs and Hearts would have received more than £80,000 from television.
