A terrific result; the current team in-form continues to climb towards a crumbling Hibs.

Celtc were there for the taking against Hibs; Lennon made the mistake of playing an 'excessively experienced' Whittaker whilst Levein could see that a defender was required to counter Sinclair. Whilst Hibs didn't press & push high up the pitch until they were two goals down, Hearts appeared to employ these tactics right from kickoff. Celtc's defending may have been woeful, with three goals coming directly from a slip/mistake, but the chances wouldn't have presented themselves without Hearts collectively constricting 'THE INVINCIB-NILS' all over the pitch.

 In the space of a month, Hearts have moved from twelve points adrift of Hibs to within three points. It would complete a calamitous month for Hibs & an undoubtedly delightful December for Hearts if the derby was the game where they leapfrogged Hibs. The Jambos shown a doggedness that has been absent from recent half-hearted Hearts sides and they deserve the plaudits for running rings around the hoops.

 

I blame Michael Stewart for all of this...
