What’s the furthest we’ve finished ahead of Hearts?

[calumhibee1]

With us looking at probably finishing 25+ points ahead of Hearts this season, when was the last time we finished that far ahead?

[660]

Last season? Nothing new against a post-financial doping hawrts

[Cataplana]

Mind the gap you forelock tuggers.

[blackpoolhibs]

A whole division.

[hibsfan7]

well if we were to win every game and hearts lose all their games the gap would be 50 yes 50 points

We will finnish above them thats the difference!

[wookie70]

Win our next game and we finish above them guaranteed. If they lose on Friday we finish above them.

They can actually still make the top six?

One point or twenty it's the norm without financial shenanigans

We were only 3 ahead last season. 25+ points of a difference must be the furthest we’ve finished ahead whilst in the same league in a hell of a long time.

If they win their remaining six games before the split (sorry - should have warned readers to put their coffee down first. Mop your keyboard.) then they'll be on 37 points.

We're sixth on "only" 36 points so it's mathematically possible.

Of course, they also need the five clubs in between us to lose most of their games as well.

I'd imagine that certain combinations of fixtures would make this impossible, thus probably making it impossible for Hearts to get top 6.

[HendoDelivered]

We finished miles ahead of them in the 5-5 Rangers game season, didn't we?

That is fairly obvious given we are sixth and I'm making a comparison about when we will finish above them. It is most likely we will be confirmed as finishing above them on Friday which must be the earliest in all my 46 years watching Hibs.

[0762]

If we'd only get rid of Hecky sooner we'd be a comfortable top 3 or 4 now.
As things stand we should easily be 20pts+ clear of them by the split.

One down side could be the match of 3 March being the final derby of the season.
And if they don't get the finger our the last derby until possibly Season 2021/22.

All the more reason we need to rip them a new one on the 3rd March.

[BILLYHIBS]

Natural order!

They would be guaranteed bottom six, but we wouldn't be guaranteed top six, so theoretically they could still go above us even if we win on Saturday. They won't obviously, but it's still possible.

About 18 I think that season so it’ll be more this time round.

Right enough. I'm counting chickens but today's game goes a long way.

[California-Hibs]

4 years now above them, we're not just talking 2 or 3 seasons here. The new standard has set in, we're streets ahead of them. It'll definitely be a 20+ point gap this season as they are absolute gash!

It's only 3 is it not?

But the year the before we had quite a good season while winning the league, year before that we won the cup.

That's 5 years of having better seasons than them I'd say.

[allezsauzee]

They are a long way behind us on and off the pitch and their belief that they are the big team is causing them to splash the money on high profile but injury prone or over the hill players & sub standard European imports. They signed an entire new team in the summer and now they are paying a fortune to Ze Daniel. Hilarious!

[GreenLake]

Their stadium and pitch will be more fitting if they drop a division.

[InchHibby]

If they get doused against St Mirren it’s definitely curtains for them, but who cares really, c’mon Hibs go for third spot, it’s turning into a good season.

[Heisenberg]

Went on to see what Ewan Murray thought of it all on twitter. Always good for a laugh. This is his take on being told that Hibs are seventeen points ahead of Hearts.

“That’s a reflection on Hearts, not Hibs. Hibs’ wider position isn’t actually drastically different.”

What does that last bit even mean? Absolute lunatic.

Hibs wider position isn't drastically different.. to Hearts.. who are bottom of the league, 17 points behind us, have a horrendous squad and a horrendous manager with a horrendous stadium and rent a training ground.

But other than that, our situations are probably pretty similar.

How he remains a journalist is anyone's guess our wider (drastically different) position is many places above you Ewan and 17 points of a gap we're on the fairway Ewan, your team is very much in the rough

He looks like Bod from kids telly too - give the lad a break
