I was right about Hibs bragging rights now Hearts are shivering in minus 13 wilderness - Tam McManus

Jock the Jambo, Ryan Stevenson, Gary Locke, Martin Giesler, Stephen Hendry, Mark Donaldson, Ken Stott, Gavin Hastings, Jimmy Jambo on Twitter.. your boys took a hell of a beating.

While the sun shines on Leith it’s minus 13 in Gorgie right now. And it’s time for a few bookmarked keyboard warriors to get their comeuppance after the split well and truly hit the fan at Hearts.

Okay I was bold on these very pages on September 6 when I predicted “Hibs can grab Hearts bragging rights and be capital kings for the first time since Gorgie mob’s return”. But the league table doesn’t lie. Thirteen points ahead and on opposite sides of the split with five games left - even I never expected the gap to be this big!

So this one is for you Nicole “this nonsense always comes back to bite you, Tam” Dunn. And for you Jimmy “never change Tam, bookmarked” Jambo. And especially you Keith Carlyon. If I’m a “melt” then it’s only because the footballing sunshine is absolutely beating down on Leith right now.

It’s all good, harmless fun of course. But there’s no denying it’s a brilliant time for Hibs fans. They’re well overdue it.

I can’t see past them for third place and what should be the guaranteed Euro group stage spot. Hearts? It’s the League Cup sections in July they can look forward to unless they somehow lift the gloom and win the Scottish Cup.

I genuinely believed what I said in September. I knew they had assembled a good squad capable of finishing above a Hearts side that had almost been carried to third last season by one man - Lawrence Shankland.

I’ll admit I began to doubt the prediction in November with Hibs stuck bottom of the table and, let’s be honest, Gray just one or two defeats from the sack. But what has happened since - 17
