A black cloud is hanging over Tynecastle after Hearts’ hopes of back-to-back third-place finishes took another hit at Easter Road.
But the forecast for Hibs is looking increasingly brighter after Lee Johnson finally managed to get one over on his side’s capital rivals. Hibees fan Mick Bain, Edinburgh, said: “It was brilliant to hear the Hibs support singing Sunshine on Leith on Saturday. It must be the best football anthem ever.”
Neil Renton, Edinburgh, added: “That was a big result for Hibs against Hearts at the weekend. The Easter Road club need to use it as a springboard to beat other sides and not just the dross of the league like the Jam Tarts.” Even Jambo Neil Hunter, Penicuik, had to admire the emotional scenes after the hosts’ 1-0 win, saying: “Congratulations to Hibs on their derby win. I stayed back in the Hearts end when Sunshine on Leith was belted out. It must be the best football anthem ever. It gives me goosebumps.”
