Class of '73 would have nothing on final win

John Blackley was part of Hibernian's greatest win over city rivals Hearts, when the Easter Road side recorded a 7-0 victory at Tynecastle way back in 1973.

That result may well be eclipsed next month if Hibs can defeat their neighbours to lift the Scottish Cup.

It needn't have to be 7-0 again – although that would add a sheen to the occasion – but Pat Fenlon's side would shroud their predecessors should they beat Hearts to the cup, while simultaneously ending 110 years without success in the competition.
