Mind when they were claiming at the start of the season they'd walk third and challenge Rangers for 2nd? 🤣
Closer to 2nd bottom and the play off spot than they are to us in 3rd at the minute.
Yasssss.

This could only be better if one of their eejit players had been yapping about them splitting the uglies. Oh haud oan a minute.....
Why is that though? I've always wondered. Was there some particular event in the past? And if there was, are there any pictures of it? :dunno:Quote:

Memory a bit hazy, but I think St Mirren maybe beat them to scupper their dream of becoming The Marshalls Chunky Chicken Champions or something.Quote:

I hope Budge isn’t on other sideQuote:

At the absolute worst we'll be two points ahead of them going into the split (if everything goes their way in the next two rounds). I'm not ruling them out of anything yet, even third place, but we're in a lovely position
Hearts are ****. They're not finishing above us.Quote:

That would put a hole in their Glory right enough.Quote:

Big team though.

Hibs haven't exactly been the perfect model for how to run a football club in the last 6 years but if we'd squandered the amount of millions that they've pished down the drain over the last decade we'd have the pitchforks outQuote:

Since coming back up from one of their many relegations they’ve finished third, fourth and third. They’ve been to Hampden three times as well I'm sure.Quote:

Could be argued that with the financial advantage they've had over everyone outside the uglies it's not too much to ask?Quote:

Absolutely mental the turnaround this season and how good a team we are now. Its back to feeling like we can win every game again. I'm already buzzing for the hun game next weekend.
Aye, the Hibs rollercoaster is on the uphill again. Enjoy.Quote:

They admittedly got their act together since 2021 when they were promoted again but it's the least they should expect with the donations and FOH money. They're in a battle to make top 6 this season and they have, generally, been poor over the last decade. A couple of third place finishes and no trophies is a poor return for what must be £10 to 20 million of free cash that has poured in to them. Especially when Hibs, Ross County, Inverness, St Johnstone etc have all won something in that time.Quote:

They’ve defo not got their act together.
Yes i was being extremely conservative in my estimates of the amount of free money they've pished against the wall... :greengrinQuote:

Hearts are irrelevant.
Realistically I expect us to be 5 points ahead of Hearts at the split but anything could happen.Quote:

I will look at who is available for both teams before predicting our game against Rangers.
The two Rangers players who have given us problems this season have been Cerny and Igamane with the former the main source of the latters chances.
The potential good news is that Cerny was injured on international duty and missed yesterdays game because of it and is 50/50 for our game. His absense could be the break we need to get a result at Ibroke.
