Malinga the Swinga Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 Let's go for a 3-0 victory for Heart of Midlothian. Two for Boyce and one for GMS. Hibs down to 10 by end of game.

What constitutesย big, bigger, biggest in terms of derby matches is subjective, and I agree with you that last season's delayed Cup Semi-Final win was indeed special ... forย soย many reasons. ย I'm guessing that most would agree that 'biggest' (thus far) belongs to the 2012 Cup Final. Thankfully, choosing whichย Hibs Cup hiding at Hampden courtesy of Heartsย is next biggest needn't cause consternation. ๐ ย Beyond that, it is typically down to 'bragging rights' although certain unique circumstances (e.g. Hibs' embarrassing 'Relegation Derby' defeat, not to mention the follow-up at Albion Place) can elevate certain games well beyond simply bragging rights ย But, I reckon that, generally speaking, theย nextย derby is the most important one; andย thisย next derby more so than usual seeing as a win would put us clear at the top of theย table ... at the expense of Hibs. ย โคโคGโค Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
