3rd secured - remarkable achievement and it feels great to get it up all the other teams in the league considering the stick the club was getting.

Final game tomorrow at Easter Road for a few months..

Will it be a final ever Hibs game for Boyle ? Final ever Hibs game for Rocky ?

Loans of Triantis, Myko and Kwon and Bursik - final time at ER ?

Youan final chance to play at Easter Road ??

Will we see Hoilett again in Hibs colours ?

Will we watch Dwight Gayle play his last ever professional game after 404 matches ?

The pressure is off for this game but wouldn’t it be amazing if we put on a show and beat Rangers ideally with Boyle getting his 2 goals for 100. Would be even better if Boyle and Rocky announce full time they are signing new contracts in the middle of the centre circle.

Going to look out some retro Hibs kit for the game tomorrow - looks like a nice sunny day for football.

Imagine it will be a pretty emotional day with various tributes and definitely a day not to be leaving early at the end of the game so the players and manager can get a proper send off.

Team wise - no idea how we will line up - fresh legs will help but it will be 3 games in 7 days for some.

Over to you Hibs and Easter Road..entertain us once again!

Would be good to see young Cleland make the bench and get some time on the pitch with Manneh playing some part too.

Yeh Cleland deserves a squad place, but under 18s are playing their final game tonight, I don’t think he’s allowed to play consecutive days .

I think he can but is allowed only so many minutes tonight, 45 maybe?

This for me. Would start Maneh and have Clelland on the bench to get the last 15 or 20 minutes.

Would maybe also start Iredale, Ekpiteta & Ohora to see how they look together if Rocky and/or Miller leave.

Marvin hasent done that much wrong, but Rocky might want a send off , after playing.

Going to be a fun day, but with a somber twist as we remember our fellow fans who have passed and of course STF.

As for the game itself, I'm hoping SDG will send the team out with instructions to express themselves and just enjoy the game.

It's kind of hard to know what team he will put out, because 3 games in a week is hard on players who have completed a full season. I would expect to see us use every sub and probably start taking people off after 60 minutes. Though if Boyle is on the score sheet by then I doubt wild horses would be able to drag him off the pitch :greengrin

I wouldn't be surprised if Manneh gets a start and maybe even NMW as well.

Totally agree I’m so looking forward to this game tomorrow , no pressure 3rd place secured (so no hyperventilating issues with minutes to go )😂 making a day of it probably like so many fellow hibbys ,enjoying the sunshine before the game wit friends and a couple of beers ,onto the ground early to soak up the atmosphere and of course for Absent Friends and tribute to STF .
Cheer the team on to victory hopefully and most important the real party starts at full time (win or not) A sea of green around the ground and hopefully to top it off a very noisy Sunshine on Leith :flag::thumbsup:

Very good shout, last time out was an entertaining game at Easter Road, lets put in a good performance to send the fans home happy and hope as many stay after full time.

I don't see many drastic changes despite us clinching 3rd and being our 3rd game in a short space of time, Could see Campbell back in for Hoilett and maybe Bowie for Myko, SDG will use the squad with subs, who knows we might see Youan make an appearance.

No, those who have got us to 3rd in the league deserve to start the match and get a standing ovation when they leave it.

Must admit I find it a bit unpleasant sharing the South Stand with those imbeciles. Still wish we had given them no tickets.

Anyhow, roll on tomorrow and hope we win to end off a fine season.

Hard game for both sets of teams. They will have many knowing last game and uncertainty while our players know job done not worth risking an injury in a tackle or already thinking of holidays after a great run. 2-2

Nothing less than 3-0 up in the first 20 mins followed up bu a SDG airplane.

Boyle 100 goals.

Then go home sunburnt as *uck after sitting in the east.

Dissapointing not to reward Clelland with a space on the bench given it’s a dead rubber and after the season he has had. A missed opportunity.

A good starting 11 though, and looking forward to seeing what Maneh has and what kind of midfielder he is.

Don't think it would be allowed at his age, he played yesterday.

If ever there was a time to give the U18s game a miss having already won the league and get him on the bench in a game with nothing riding on it the time was now. Could have taken Youan’s spot.

Anyway, enough about a slight negative and time to enjoy the end to a good season.

I thought he might’ve still started & seen how we were doing

It’s no big deal mind you, hope the boys have a bit fun today
