THE PREDICTION
The doom and gloom continued at Hearts over the weekend with their fourth straight loss and - even in a season which has been poor throughout - this represents their worst run. Hibs have lost to both the Old Firm teams in their last two matches so this is the perfect match for them to rebound.
