Hibees positivity thread ahead of the Celtic Scottish Cup game

[theonlywayisup]

Sunday’s magnificent result against Hearts continued our fantastic form meaning we’re now unbeaten in 15 in all competitions. In that unbeaten run, we’ve now gone 13 games unbeaten in the top-flight, an impressive feat in itself! The last time we had a top-flight 13-game run in the same season was all the way back in 1949/50! The Famous Five era!

This team deserves to be supported. And the magnificent Hibernian support have done their bit by selling out our 7,000 ticket allocation for the Scottish Cup Quarter Final against Celtic. Whilst it will be a huge challenge to get a positive result, this team has proven to be difficult to beat, scoring some great goals to secure some impressive victories.

Since starting these positivity threads, we have played 16 matches, winning 12 drawing 4. So, lots to feel positive about. Let's keep the positivity flowing as the Hibees run out in front of 7,000 Hibernian supporters. I hope the positive results will continue.

Delighted to see this thread again.

Well prepared for nothing to go for us tomorrow, think every referee or var decision will go in their favour due to the one we got last time.

It’s mental what happens when Celtic/Rangers done get a decision in their favour.

C’mon the Hibees!

biggest away support out side of Hampden trips since cup game at Ibrox many moons ago. They are not used to away supports these days of any significance so could make it very interesting if we can get a foothold in the game and quieten them and bring some Hibees noise

Buzzing for tomorrow, proper big game feel about it. Come on Hibs, last time we played them at Celtic park the scoreline flattered them.

Take our chances and we have a very good chance of winning the cup.

We're one of the few teams that have beat them this season , the boys know what they need to do . Massive mob of hibees to roar them on . If you want to win the cup your going to have to beat Celtic at some stage

[hibsbollah]

We are Hibs. We are good.

[The Harp]

All the very best to the team, the staff and the supporters for tomorrow's game. It's been an amazing run, let's keep it going.

'mon the Hibs.

[Carheenlea]

This won't be the tie Celtic would have preferred, particularly after the game at Easter Road.

Ideally they'd have wanted Queens Park, Livingston or Hearts.

[B.H.F.C]

I don’t think we can go and just do things exactly as we have been. First priority has to be to get through the early stages. Kill the game a bit, waste time, do whatever we need to but do not lose a goal early.

If we can just stay in the game, we will get chances as it goes on.

Our end is going to be absolutely jumping, looking forward to being there with such a big number.

Ill roll in a little stato question :nerd:
last Hibs cup tie domestic or european with a crowd of 60 thousand :greengrin

obviously Hampden is currently 52k ish.

[GreenCastle]

This run has been incredible - the team fully deserve a 7k loud and positive Hibs support.

It’s a one off game so anything can happen. Even a draw and get to penalties will give us a chance.

The key to me is stopping Celtic score early in each half.

We scored early against them last time and what a difference that made to the game.

All the pressure is on Celtic as they go for the treble with a massively more expensive squad than others.

Hibs fans need to sing for 90 plus and be the best away support possible toddy. The team and manager deserve it and whatever happens today it’s important we remain confident for the rest of the league season.
