Wouldn’t it be sweet to stop Celtics treble treble on Saturday given the circumstances. No one knows what’s gone on but with McGinn last summer, the Scott Allan situation and now with Lennon being their manager after all that’s gone on. Get your tickets folks and enjoy 👍

Might be in a minority here, but I'd take winning on Saturday for a 2 or 3-0 defeat at Tynecastle in April every day of the week.

Not wanted to win a game this much in a long time. Kamberi to score a late winner and run to the away dugout to celebrate would be the icing on the cake

If you told me we would go on to win the cup against Hearts then yes I'd take a win on Saturday over a loss in the next league derby, otherwise no I wouldn't.

Absolutely. Win on Saturday and we’ve got a trip to Hampden to look forward to with the best team in the league knocked out. I’d take that over a league derby win every time.

Is it the treble treble or the triple treble?

Regardless of who was managing them I've wanted to be the team to stop the treble treble, feels similar to being the team charged with stopping The Rangers quest for Scottish Cup glory in 2016.

Would I take it over a Hearts win? For this season only and as long as we make up for it handsomely post split.

No-one in the top flight other than Celtic have lifted trophy since our day on 21/05/2016. It would be lovely symmetry for it to be us that stop them and go on to win it again.

As someone above has said, let's bury them.

Would be nice ,but the stark fact is we now have a Celtic manager who knows more about the Hibs squad than the current manager.

The stark fact is that the man in the home dugout has managed to get as many wins for his side in the past week and a bit as his predecessor did in several months - and has the players looking like they want to play for him.

Lennon didn't even know how to get our current players playing when he was our manager, I'm not convinced he'll be that clued up on how to stop us now we've started playing.

Interesting to see that he's back down to the bare bones in midfield again. He didn't cope well with that at Hibs.

Not that the players won't be fired up for it but the Lennon factor might fire them up just a wee bit more. Kamberi to score the winner.

Tonight will be a good barometer of how the Celtic players respond to Lennon. Strange situation as he's gone in there while they're flying domestically so he wont need to boot their *****. Wonder if some of them will react negatively to a guy telling them how to play who left his last club 8th and in a bit of a shambles.

I said it before but stopping the 'treble treble' or 'getting it up Lennon' are total sideshows as far as I'm concerned.

A win on Saturday gives us a fantastic chance of winning the cup for the 2nd time in 3 years. If Celtic go out then every team in the semi final will believe they have a real chance of both reaching the final and then winning the tournament.

Once Hibs are out then I couldn't really care who wins the cup. Celtic fans are insufferable bores at the best of times anyway but the alternative is likely to be one of Hearts, Rangers or Aberdeen winning it and that doesn't make me feel any better than hearing all about the treble ****ing treble for the next 5000 years.

Kennedy set them up against Hearts. Hopefully, Lennon takes full control now. Forrest won't be much cop at Centre Half. They looked very poor against a poor Hearts side with 10 men. We have every chance on Saturday

Diclonius
28-02-2019, 03:54 PM
Realistically, we're not favourites for the tie given the differences in resources between the two clubs.

However, we're in a much better position than we were when we beat them at ER in December and they're in a wee bit of turmoil themselves. Plus, a lot of our team will have a point to prove. Here's hoping!

Massive game for us with one of either Sevco or Aberdeen also going out.

I'd take a place in the Scottish Cup semi final over a league derby win without question.

I'd probably combust if we won at Tynecastle.

For Hibs to progress in the Cup, we have to stop the treble treble. It's the same thing, almost.

I think that was one of the lowest feelings ever. Walking back to the bus with my two young kids totally gutted. We had a great team too.

Anyway, Saturday is only about us progressing and getting back to Hamden ... nowt else matters.

I've never left a Hibs game early, and never switched off a Hibs game on TV before the final whistle. That final remains the one exception.

I think it will be a real challenge, especially with the inside knowledge Lennon has on most of our players, but not completely beyond us.

It’s a free shot.

Very few will expect us to win. They will expect to beat us. It’s a no lose situation. A chance for Heck to shape his troops against a top 6 side.

It’s an opportunity for us to see what our new management team and their slightly rejuvenated, reinvigorated side is made of. Possibly bookends the 2016 cup win too.

As I say, a free hit.

The key is to hit Broonie early doors. Last two games he's banjoed Milligan and Slivka, then ran the show. Hit the prick early doors and put our stamp on the game.

Last game at ER he should have been sent off early doors for a tackle on Slivka. But never kicked a ball for 90 minutes.

Absolutely this - couldn't give a monkey's about stopping anyone's treble treble but I'd give a lot (monkeys or otherwise) about Hibs winning another cup. If we can get through this one there's a real chance. We're underdogs (sorry for mixing all these animals) but it's not impossible. GGTTH

In what way did he “run the show” in the game he did Slivka?

Circumstances recently give us a good chance Sat. A win would put confidence through the roof. Why anyone would be looking to “trade” anything for that would place Hibs under our new boss, completely baffles me! SC semi finalists, for I’d then be looking to go on & do big big things! Including trouncing poppytheives & after putting out favs & cup holders, winning that anaw! All starts the morn tho!

It's been a good start but still concerned by frailties at the back. Lack of pace could be an issue at the back as their front 3 are lightning. Resist them out wide though and no reason why it can't be another win against them at ER.

The defensive frailties are just something we will need to put up with until he can do something about it in the summer IMO.

Attack is our best form of defence.

Because it was Livingston? We might as well not turn up today then because Celtic are the bigger team.

That day Livingston were head and shoulders above us. We played right into their hands lumping up long balls and Marvin Andrews mopped up every single one.

Also we didn't beat Livi that whole season. Was a disappointing day for sure but you can't just turn up to a game like that and expect to win
