We're almost in uncharted territory here. There’s a strange sensation I’m not really used to. I think it’s called positivity. I’d forgotten what it’s like to write an upbeat Hibs column.
It’s felt like I’ve been hammering this club every week this season and, trust me, it’s not something I take any pleasure from. But if you can’t enjoy a six goal win at the weekend, you might as well chuck it. Aberdeen were obviously the big story and it turns out all that – slightly cruel – stuff about El Sackico came to be on the money, with Jim Goodwin getting his jotters.
Sure, the Dons were absolutely honking at Easter Road. But Hibs were good. Very good. They sensed weakness and really went for it. That is much more like it. And it has to be a spark for this side. How often have we seen them get a good result and fail to back it up with another one? It can’t happen this time and that means tonight’s game against Ross Country in Dingwall is every bit as important as the weekend. Maybe even more so.
