Hibs fans will be absolutely delighted with the club’s current fantastic run of form.
The Easter Road side have lost just one of their last 11 games in all competitions that has saw them rise into the Premiership’s top six and five points clear of the relegation play-off zone.

Hibs also progressed into the Scottish Cup fifth round at the weekend as they cruised past non-league Clydebank to set up a mouthwatering away tie with Ayr United.
Supporters are in high spirits, but they are keen for the club to really kickstart their January transfer business with just under two weeks until the deadline.
Boss David Gray has pretty much guaranteed incomings but Hibs are yet to make their first signing after kicking the window off with a triple exit.
David Gray explains Hibs transfer strategy
Gray insists work continues to go on behind the scenes at Hibs as he works together with sporting director Malky Mackay and head of recruitment Garvan Stewart to deliver fresh blood into the squad.
But how does the Hibs recruitment process work? Well, Gray has provided an insight into the inner workings.
Gray was recently invited on to The Scottish Football Social Club podcast from Premier Sports and was quizzed on how transfers are delivered at Hibs, as well as who gets the final say.
Gray explained: “It’s a bit of everything. At times there will be players who I know myself and have identified. There’s times where we look at position X and a position we want to fix or improve or get ready to replace.
“Then they’ll (Mackay and Stewart) go away and draw up a list from a data point of view, but also if it can be done. You’ve also got the knowledge and experience of Malky overseeing that which is great.
“So altogether, we come up with a list of targets that we believe can make us better in those positions. The ultimately, we’ll decide who is the best one and I’ll have the say at the very end.
“Here’s your one, two, three targets for position X and put them in an order where you’d like them to be done in.
“Now it’s not always going and getting number one. It’s the ideal scenario, but it doesn’t always work like that clearly because of circumstances.
“There’s always interest from other clubs, then you have to take into account the financial side of it – can it be done, what that looks like and does it benefit the football club?
“So it is a process you go through and you want to try and get as many of these new recruits right because you’re always judged on that. Then you’re judged by how quickly they can settle in.
“There’s lots of things you need to take into consideration and it is a real process. It’s not as simple as, ‘I really like that player, let’s go and get him’.
Which players are Hibs being linked with?
The process Gray describes is precisely what is going on at Easter Road at the moment as the clock ticks down on deadline day.
Hibs have made an effort to bring in teenage midfielder Matias Siltanen from KuPS having made a bid of around £735k.
Swedish outfit Djurgardens had already lodged an offer before the Hibees, but it is now being said that the Allsvenskan side have increased their bid to £850k.
Elsewhere, Hibs have been looking into another midfielder in the shape of Jani Atanasov, the Macedonian 25-year-old who plays for KS Cracovia.
Not The Old Firm told you in December that a striker and goalkeeper are also on the club’s wish list this month, but it remains to be seen if they can fill all three positions in time.
