Hibs have binned the trash talk and Lee Johnson's side have shown they have the minerals - Tam McManus

It's a slur that for too long has stunk out Easter Road like those bins that are spewing their garbage across Edinburgh. But at long last the signs are there that the phrase ‘Hibs’d It’ has been turned on it’s head and lobbed back at some of the chief tormentors.

Lee Johnson ’s side are starting to show they’ve got the balls for the battle on the big occasion. Already there’s been three examples in the first four Premiership matches.

A 90th minute winner away to St Johnstone, a 95th minute equaliser in the derby against Hearts and now a 92nd minute leveller at home to Rangers. Some might scoff but for me it’s a brilliant trait to have that desire to keep going and never know when they’re beaten. Those three games would have brought one point but instead it’s five and what a difference that could make at the end of the season.
