A look at the SPL table this evening reveals two very pleasing things. Firstly, Hearts are sitting only two places from the bottom, but secondly, and far more importantly, Hibs are sitting second top.
A deserved, but admittedly last minute, win over St. Mirren last week (see here for highlights), and a good 3-1 away to Falkirk today have given Hibs a 100% record at this stage, with 5 goals scored and 2 conceded. Should Rangers achieve the seemingly impossible, and fail to beat Hearts later today, Hibs could find themselves, with Celtic, as the only teams in the league with a perfect record. Magic!
As an aside, after The Spartans game today a Scottish footballing legend by the name of Eammon Bannon was in the pub, and, as ever, told me to stop growing. Eammon is a guy who has played in the World Cup for Scotland, for Hibs, Hearts and Chelsea, who won the League with Dundee United, and even played for The Spartans for a season or two, turning out against Clyde in the Scottish Cup, when, after a 0-0 draw at City Park, the Spartans earned a replay. Have a look at Eammon's goal (0.41) in Dundee Utd's 5-0 hammering of Borussia Munchengladbach way back in the day, when lots of people actually went to watch football at Tannadice:
