Fifteen Unbeaten in the League

[Libby Hibby]

Every single Hibby (unless you’re as old as the hills) is witnessing Hibs history unfolding in front of their eyes with this current run we are on and it got me thinking, outwith the old firm, does anyone know if any other club done anything similar in terms of 15 unbeaten?

[Pagan Hibernia]

Fantastic and very rare achievement for us but I doubt if it's that unusual. Aberdeen for example went 20 league games unbeaten between March and November last year (admittedly across two seasons). Can't think of many others off the top of my head right enough.

I do know that Hearts went 27 unbeaten in 1985-86 when they won the league. (At least I assume they won it, I avoided all news on the last game and went to live in a cave in ireland for a month)

[scoopyboy]

The incredible Albert Kidd season saw them put an impressive run together 😂😂😂

[Craigmount Hibs]

Erm, time for a quick mention of our knuckle dragging, puddle drinking, cardigan wearing, pink bus shelter dwelling neighbours? And Sir Albert Kidd?

33 games unbeaten for that shower. Not sure if they won anything, as a result....

33 games unbeaten? Surely they won something with a run like that!


If not it would have taken a monumental disaster to prevent this...

[Garymcl]

We’re on brilliant run this team deserve to supported ,we’re getting great home attendances on the back of this next home game against Dundee could see a near sell out on the way to 3rd place and Europe :flag:

That was when they were sponsored by Mita..because they Mita won the league and Mita won the cup..

[FilipinoHibs]

It's done wonders for my mental health, 4 months of weekends not spoiled.

[Carheenlea]

I’m not sure if we are really giving this the recognition it deserves? I hadn’t given the run much of a thought when walking back after game until it then hit me that run extends another game and was up to 15.

It may not be fully appreciated until it comes to an end.

The other impressive stat is that it was our sixth consecutive home win. A strong hime record is the foundation for every successful club, and making points hard to come by at Easter Road has contributed majorly to our rise up the table.

Long may that continue.

It’s something I never thought possible.

[jakedance]

Winning is brilliant eh? You can see why other clubs are so into it. We should have done this years ago.

[Skol]

When you consider the start was the worst we have had since 1979 and the managers job was in doubt, it really shows an amazing turnaround.

It does. Strangely mirroring Aberdeen from 2 years ago except we stuck with our manager and they sacked Goodwin

[SHODAN]

Our longest unbeaten run IN THE CHAMPIONSHIP was fourteen games, which we've now exceeded.

Is this the longest unbeaten top flight run in our history?

I think it’ll only be really appreciated if we finish the job now.

Shows just how bad the start was that we’ve went on a run like this and are still only a point clear on third. Don’t think we’ll see a run of 15 (or more) games unbeaten in the league again any time soon.

[hibsbollah]

According to wiki even in our 1903 league season when we won the league at a canter with only one defeat in 22, 15 games unbeaten was the longest unbeaten run that year. Unless ive missed something if we exceed the 17 unbeaten league run of 1947 that will be the all time record. Just require three more; have to avoid defeat against the hun, dundee and AN Other top 6 opponent.

Undefeated in the league since Celtic away 0-3 7/12/2024 a game we should have been 2-0 up in ?

Not bad considering it is now 31/03/2025

Are you not entertained ?

But you can clearly see the massive home advantage Killie have got from the Killie carpet over STJ. It is ridiculous, quite simply it should not be allowed.

Thinking about that game the other day, Schmeicel made 9 saves. When Rangers beat them recently they only had 5 shots on target, so little doubt that we gave Celtics back line the hardest game they would have had all season. We were excellent and 3-0 scoreline was a travesty really.

:agree:

It makes me a bit frustrated that we didn't have a bit more of a go in the cup game the other week. Yeah we could have ended up losing heavier than 2-0. But who knows, it could have gone the other way.

Was a major disappointment and a let down on the day too many players off it just couldn’t control water just cannae turn up at Celtic Park and play like that but saying that it almost worked just needed a goal to force it to ET injuries to the Cadden’s didn’t help ?

Celtic definitely vulnerable at the back

Did we not get a lot of joy from that game before Christmas playing balls behind Scales? Gray obviously must have tried to identify points where we could damage them but Scales was probably easier to exploit than any member of their back four in the cup game.

Probably due to the fact Scales is absolutely dreadful.

I am going to get someone proving me wrong here (RIP John Campbell who would know the answer definitively)…but ive checked all our years when we had good seasons and i think if we stay undefeated the next two thats the alltime record.

It is an amazing statistic. I am well into my 70th decade and I've never experienced a run like this, even during the Turnbull days. We should all enjoy it while it lasts, it is unlikely any of us will see a run like this again.

[cameronw-hfc]

It's actually bordering on comical the fact we are most pundits favourite for 3rd place now given not long before Christmas we were sitting bottom.

Genuinely incredible and should be manager of the year worthy but Rodgers will get it no doubt.

[Squealing pig]

Keep it going !

Amazing when you consider that a lot of posters on here wanted more than half the team that started today emptied from the club and a few who were on the bench as well.

I'm a wee bit younger than you and only caught the tail end of the Tornadoes. This feels different, back then it was about our players, this time it just feels like it's the manager that is at the centre of the momentum.

I didn't think I would see Pat Stanton eclipsed as a Hibs legend, but David Gray is well on his way to doing so if he hasn't already done that.

No one man deserves it more, a Hibernian legend who will unfortunately be poached like every other decent manager before him.

Me neither, at any club, not just Hibs or SPL.

Leicester come to mind the season before they won the league. Looked dead and buried in the relegation zone and went on a marvellous streak (albeit not as many games unbeaten) to stay up.

Maybe next year we'll win the league.

Does anyone know how many points Celtic have accumulated over the course of our unbeaten run?

Since they beat us 3-0 on 7th December... they've taken 35 points and we've taken 38.

Celtic have played a game more than us since then too.

To outperform a team with 10 or 20 times our budget over a period of four months is pretty amazing.
