Aberdeen are currently very poor; Hibs are a bit better.
The real measure of their quality is that Hibs are 33 points behind Rangers.
That’s the equivalent of an 11 defeat difference after only 33 games.
Aberdeen can claim the better record against the Old Firm this season. They have taken two points out of eighteen from those matches; Hibs have managed only one.
And let’s for once have a bit of honesty.
This situation defined is not a one-season wonder.
The Scottish media’s annually touted “challengers” to the Old Firm are not challengers at all.
In the 124 domestic competitions Aberdeen and Hibs have contested between them since the dawning of the new millennium, the two “challengers” have won a total of two trophies.
A word to cover their performances in this period?
PATHETIC.
Time for Change.
