00:00Just finally from you then, if you were to come off the fence a bit and have a stab at how this is going to go, scoreline-wise or just game-wise, how do you see it going?
00:11The obvious leaning would be towards a Hearts win, I think the form that they're in.
00:15I'm a bit vulnerable defensively, albeit a great clean sheet there at Celtic Park at the weekend.
00:21So I'd probably head towards 2-1 Hearts, maybe 3-1 if they get an early goal, get out of the traps quickly.
00:26John, same question to you, can you sort of see Hibs causing what some would maybe say is an inverted commas upset at Thincastle on Saturday?
00:36I think you can always see it happening. I'm going to do what I always do when you ask me for these predictions, 6-5 Hibs.
00:43And just imagine if that comes right, you'd think I'm a genius then.
00:47I don't know, yeah, you can see it happening. I would say, having looked at the odds, I'm gathering there'll be outsiders just based on form and everything.
00:56I'm never the greatest believer in this form goes out the window thing because ultimately it's a game of football and it's going to come down to footballers on the park and which team are playing better, which team.
01:06And there's a whole lot of other things, you know, who handles it best, who copes with it.
01:10There'll be a bit of expectation on Hearts.
01:12I think probably the fact there's not that much expectation on Hibs might work in their favour.
01:20But then this is where it does go out the window among fans.
01:24Because living with a 16-year-old Hibs fan here is, I've got to win the Derby, got to win the Derby, got to win the Derby.
01:30I'm like, my point would be all right. No, no, no. You've got to win the Derby.
01:34So there's always going to be that pressure, always that intensity.
01:38I don't think it's beyond the realms of possibility that Hibs get out of there with a win.
01:44Certainly a draw, but wouldn't surprise me at all.
01:46There's always going to be that pressure.
