Heart of Midlothian v Hibernian 2017 - HerefordBull - 08-02-2017

Sunday looms and the gods have decided that this season will give us an Edinburgh Derby. To add more spice Hibernian go into the game as current Scottish Cup Holders. The most important factor to this is that Hearts have lost half their songbook. Big Grin Big Grin .........we've not won the cup for 1 year.....

2 weeks ago the maroon half were looking at the game with a little trepidation and the green half ( the wee half!) were chomping at the bit........however recent results and form have turned these expectations on there head and Hearts must now really fancy their chances.

As far as Hibs are concerned I hope we play with as much width as possible and this week leave Boyle out wide to use his pace run at the full back to get to the line for a cross. Not concerned re Humphrey, don't rate him at all. Keatings must play for his dead ball striking and has that "old boy" tag from Hearts Championship side....may just give him an extra spark. Obviously this week Lennon will go with a recognized centre forward and has to be Cummings with his scoring history against the JT's. No Hanlon this year to pop up at the end to get us a draw so lets hope someone else has their shooting boots on. Whistle

Collum will be the ref so anything could happen. Doh

Lets hope for a great game and a good advert for Scottish Football and the Edinburgh derby.
