A season of corruption in Scottish football has brilliantly been highlighted by Longbangers, a Hibs podcast.
Being on the ground in Edinburgh the Hibees have seen up close some of the actions that cruelly denied the capital city a title celebration.
While Gary Lineker and Jeff Sterling take their crocodile tears elsewhere Jambos are left broken-hearted.
For 250 days their team was sitting on top of the SPFL Premiership.
In the final straight Danny Rohl’s side fell apart. Their title hopes were ended at Celtic Park in a 3-1 defeat.
When that happened the media bandwagon switched to Derek McInnes.
A disciple of Walter Smith, one of their own, the man that really should have been in the blazer and brogues.
Kris Boyd, Michael Stewart and Ally McCoist all screamed the C word but on Matchday 38 they needed a draw against the Champions. Alas Celtic prevailed.

The video details some of the issues that contrived to deny Hearts the title. The People’s Champions.
Celtic were given 19 home and away matches. Hearts were forced to play on a Saturday. The dug-outs at Celtic Park were too close together.
And so on. Not to mention having three clearly offside players racing into the Hearts half in stoppage time.
SUNSHINE ON LEITH AS HIBS FANS CELEBRATE
So far there have been two statements out of Hearts to accompany round the clock media bleating.
Hibs fans are delighted. They watched their team lose at home to Motherwell on Saturday and celebrated as if it was Hampden 2016.
Southampton’s punishment for spying on Middlesbrough provided fresh hope to BBC Scotland and TalkSPORT.
Keith Jackson of the Daily Record has been working round the clock on the ‘missing minute’. Next up he will be investigating the missing billionaire.
There seems to be no let up in the hurt and pain caused by Celtic’s title success. Every avenue is being explored.
Celtic’s title win has caused untold misery far and wide across Scotland. With the exception of Hibs fans.
Absolutely brilliant
Tears are running down my face…..Hilarious

It’s not just Hibs fans who are happy Hearts blew it – I know many fans of other clubs who are quietly content that McInnes made such an Ethan Hunt of himself over the past week.
It’s more of a case of people who get their thinking instructions from the tabloids who reckon Hearts wiz robbed – those with the power of critical analysis who see things for what they really are could see Celtic were really turning the screw in the last couple of months of the season while Hearts were an overhyped team with one win in their last 7 away games (that being against 9 men) with a very limited coach in the dugout who also happens to be a gobby bell-end whose mouth writes cheques his arse can’t cash…..
Their wet dreams are all over this evening…
The game was won fair and square – The statement is out…
For once – And probably once only…
THANK YOU THE SFA !
