Two draws in a row for Hibs but very different emotions attached to each.
Last midweek it was disappointment as we again squandered a two-goal lead to draw with Falkirk, with another concession on the cusp of half-time proving a pivotal moment.
Then came a hugely satisfying point at Parkhead as Hibs put in a defensive masterclass, led by Scotland Hall of Famer Grant Hanley.
David Gray stuck with Raphael Sallinger in goal and the Austrian keeper pulled out a couple of cracking saves to preserve a clean sheet.
The gaffer will be delighted to see such a positive display from his backline before the Edinburgh derby on Saturday.
It’s a huge game for both sides, with each putting their unbeaten start to the season on the line.
Hibs will need to show more attacking intent than we did on Saturday, but we saw last season just how good Gray is at getting his team up for this fixture.
I can’t wait – the first derby goes a long way to dictating how the rest of the season goes, so I’m hoping Hibs follow St Mirren’s lead in bursting Hearts’ early-season bubble.
