The three points Hibs picked up from Falkirk on Saturday could prove to be a massive turning point in their season. As the battle for fourth place heats up, every result matters, and this one might just keep their hopes alive heading into the final stretch.
To make it happen, Hibs will need a little help from the football gods—who haven't exactly been on their side this season. A win for Celtic at Fir Park on Wednesday night, followed by Hibs finding a way to beat Rangers at Ibrox, would set up a thrilling shootout for fourth place on the final day. Realistic? Maybe not, but after a season full of tough breaks, this team is due for some good fortune.
One of the brightest spots from the weekend was Josh Campbell, who stepped up with two crucial goals. He has a real knack for timing his runs into the box and popping up when it matters most. While he's struggled for consistent game time and sometimes gets tasked with chasing down opponents all day, when given the freedom to attack, he's a genuine threat. With Jamie McGrath still suspended, Campbell has a golden opportunity to lock down a starting spot against Motherwell—if he can back up Saturday's performance with a similar impact against Rangers.
As for the trip to Ibrox, it's hard to predict how it will go. Rangers' season is essentially over, but they'll want to go out on a high in their final home match. Hibs can't afford to get caught up in that narrative, though. With a job to do, you can bet manager David Gray will have his squad locked in and focused on the task at hand.
If things go their way, we could be in for an absolute thriller on the last day of the season. And for fans who love the drama, there's nothing better than a winner-takes-all finale—especially when it comes with a chance to end the season on a high note.
