Great phone in this week as we look back at good performances against Motherwell and Rangers, look at Hibs' transfer activity including interest in a 'wonderkid' and we look ahead to the Scottish Cup tie this weekend as Hibernian face Clydebank at Easter Road!

It's another three points and another three goals for Hibs as they brush Motherwell aside at Easter Road. It was a very comfortable afternoon for the Hibees as they took their place in the top six for the first time this season. What does this mean for players looking for new deals - would you keep Rocky and Boyle, and should Hibs break the bank for Triantis, who was excellent once again? And Hibs are linked with a centre half and a winger, is this the start of the big rebuild?

Hibs 3 Rangers 3 - What a game as Hibs were awful and brilliant across the course of the 90 minutes. Rangers led twice but failed to suppress the Hibees who fired back with goals from Martin Boyle and Rocky Bushiri. We talk about the two sides of Rocky's game, the sublime to the ridiculous as another mistake leads to a goal conceded, but you can't argue with his goal contribution at the other end as he gets a goal and assist today. And we have a good laugh at Philippe Clement, whose salty tears and torn face reflect a man whose team absolutely wet the bed when it came to taking the points today.

Hibs are held to a 1-1 draw in Perth as 10 man St Johnstone frustrate the Hibees and stop us getting our fifth consecutive win. What do you do with Rocky Bushiri? Brilliant for 99.9% of the game, but another mistake that's led to a goal, would you extend his contract?

Hibs win a six-pointer against in-form Kilmarnock as Killie boss, Derek McInness, is left raging at the referee when he SHOULD be raging at his reckless player. Onwards and upwards for the Hibees as David Gray's men take another step towards the top six and move further away from relegation threatened Hearts in the process.

It's a boisterous phone in tonight as the Hibees celebrate a Boxing Day victory at Tiny. We go through the highlights of Hibs' 1-2 over Hearts in the Edinburgh derby, with goals from Josh Campbell (yes, we're crediting him with it) and Dwight Gayle cancelling out an unfortunate own goal from Rocky Bushiri.Gray gets credit for turning things around, and we're absolutely delighted for him!

Hibernian had a great weekend as the men thumped Aberdeen 1-3 at Pittodrie, and the women turned Rangers over 0-3. With Hibs now putting some points between us and the bottom, is the pressure now off of David Gray? Martin Boyle was back to his talismanic best, does Gray deserve credit for that man management - see also the return to form of Elie Youan. And there's a connection back between the fans and the players, how important is that leaning into the Boxing Day Edinburgh Derby against lowly Hearts?

Hibs take the points in a tough win against Ross County. It was far from convincing despite the 3-1 scoreline as the fans' frustrations at an inept first half were clear to see. On the plus side, the team dug out an essential win, leaving city neighbours Hearts rock bottom in the league at the end of the weekend. Is it now onwards and upwards for Hibs?

Hibs lost to Celtic, but a battling performance and creating some great chances gives some cause for optimism. Fresh faces are required in January, but what positions are the priority? What now for David Gray - does a win on Saturday against Ross County give the season a chance of relative success?

Hibs move off the bottom of the table after thumping hopeless Motherwell, a new Head of Recruitment at Hibs as Garvan Stewart joins from Bournemouth - what does that mean for Malky Mackay and the January transfer window? Football for a fiver - great initiative from Hibs! And a look ahead to Celtic on Saturday, can the Hibees spring an unlikely result?
