Seven reasons to be happy Hibbee

IT was a historic derby match which saw one of the Capital’s great football teams on the wrong end of a miserable defeat – and a scoreline that would turn into a long-running taunt.

But while Hearts fans might like to think this is referring to their 5-1 defeat of rivals Hibs in last season’s Scottish Cup – and the gesture which has spread round the world and even inspired a book – this is actually the monstrous 7-0 defeat of Hearts back in 1973. Fed up with the 5-1 taunts, Hibs have now started selling T-shirts with the legend “Zero-7 01-Jan 1973” and will be hoping their loyal fans can wear it with pride and remind their footballing neighbours they weren’t always the derby underdogs.
