GLASGOW, Scotland (Reuters) -- Hibernian joined champions Rangers at the top of the Scottish Premier League on Sunday after Garry O'Connor scored a stoppage-time winner in their 1-0 win over Edinburgh rivals Hearts at Easter Road.

Hibernian, who like Rangers have six points out of six, achieved their win despite playing most of the match with 10 men after Grant Brebner was sent off eight minutes before halftime.

In Sunday's other game, Dunfermline won 2-0 at Dundee.

Rangers won 3-2 at Aberdeen on Saturday, while their Glasgow rivals Celtic, who have four points, earned their first win of the season by demolishing Dundee United 5-0 at Celtic Park.
