Sunday's Edinburgh derby has been labelled as the 'biggest in years' because of the two sides' current league positions.
It's the first Edinburgh derby of the season but even Hibernian’s talisman winger Martin Boyle has declared Sunday's meeting with Hearts as the "biggest in years" because of the two sides' current league positions.
For Hibs, it was a summer of change. Club legend David Gray was confirmed as the new permanent head coach, with Malky Mackay arriving as sporting director.Goalkeeper David Marshall retired and veteran defenders Paul Hanlon and Lewis Stevenson moved on, leaving a gap in experience. Neil Lennon left Hibs by mutual consent in January 2019. Since then, Paul Heckingbottom, Jack Ross, Shaun Maloney, Lee Johnson and Nick Montgomery have come and gone.
It seems unlikely Gray would be shown the door so early, though. The club need stability and making another change will only increase the turmoil.Critchley has had the kind of start any manager would want. Two wins - one in the league, one in Europe - and six goals along, with two clean sheets.He has made subtle changes to the formation, but the victories have certainly given him some leeway with the demanding Hearts support.
