Great piece! Certainly exciting times ahead for Hearts fans, regardless of how Sunday and the rest of the season pan out.

This was actually a four-game run though, as Cathro kept the same lineup in his first game away to Rangers.

Last time we did it in the top flight was between 26 Nov 2016 (a 3-0 win v Motherwell in the penultimate game of Neilson's first spell) and 3 Dec 2016 (a 2-2 draw v County with Daly/Kirk as caretakers).

I missed that game so couldn't count it on a personal level. Even then, Humphrys' goal (as great as it was) was an opportunistic one that I'm not convinced he'd score again in similar circumstances. There was something so deliberate about Kyzi's yesterday that made it even better.

While I agree with the sentiment, Hanley's played three games for Hibs.

Good piece but at this stage, for Hearts fans, it's preaching to the converted. For those that still need this broken down (mostly fans and pundits not affiliated with Hearts) it's almost futile trying. They'll maintain wilful ignorance regardless. Best we can do is quietly go about our business.

They won't admit it openly, but deep down they know this has potential, that it's not some clueless crackpot like Romanov, and it's causing them concern. In public, they'll double down, dismiss it, mock it, wilfully misunderstand it, but it's nothing more than a coping mechanism.

Fair play! The fact that you've denied Hibs guaranteed Europe until December is absolutely hilarious from a Hearts fans' perspective. Never thought it would happen given how honking Aberdeen have been lately, but I'm all for it. 👏🏻

As funny as it would be for Aberdeen to win the cup and deny Hibs guaranteed European group stage football, I fully expect Celtic to annihilate them. The 5-1 on Wednesday could end up looking like foreplay.

I'd love Beni to be our captain next season but I also imagine any chance of holding onto Shankland would involve him keeping the armband.

I really hope so. It's certainly not like this board to act so swiftly.
