Some Hibs fans had a strange start to the day though as their coach turned up sporting the wrong club badge
Hibs are hosting Dundee United as they seek to strengthen their grip on third spot.
Hibs' North East Scotland supporters' club arranged a coach to take them down to Easter Road for the clash.
But the fans were left confused as the bus arrived sporting ABERDEEN badges.
The side of the bus even sported text reading 'Official Transport to AFC'.
North East Scotland Hibees took to X, formerly Twitter, to react to the mess-up.
They said: "If you see this bus parked please be assured it's full of Hibees.
"Our bus company has mugged us off this weekend!"
Meanwhile, Championship side Greenock Morton have informed assistant manager Andy Millen he's being axed.
Millen has served as assistant at Cappielow since 2021, helping Dougie Imrie guide the Ton to two fifth place and a sixth place finish.
It's understood the 59-year old was handed a letter summoning him to a meeting over his future after the club's 2-0 victory over Dunfermline on the final day of the season.

A former Hearts star is reportedly set to join a Premiership rival just weeks after claiming promotion. Sign up to our Hearts newsletter Sign up Thank you for signing up!

A former Hearts defender has secured a move to a Premiership rival just weeks after helping Livingston secure promotion back into the top flight. Jamie Brandon joined the Hearts academy in 2017 and went on to make 30 senior appearances after making his debut in a 2-0 defeat against Celtic. However, Brandon went on to spend the second half of the 2021/22 season on loan at Championship club Greenock Morton before penning a pre-contract agreement to join Livingston on a free transfer during the following summer. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad After racking up almost a century of appearances, what will now go down as Brandon's final season with Livi appeared to have ended in disappointment as they lost out to Falkirk in the race for the Championship title. However, a 5-3 aggregate win against Ross County in the Premiership play-off ensured Brandon and his team-mates had guided the club back into the top flight at the first attempt after they suffered relegation 12 months earlier. Former Hearts star linked to Kilmarnock move Speaking after a 4-2 win in the second leg at County's Global Energy Stadium secured promotion, the former Livingston captain said: 'It's been a special night and i'm ecstatic we've been able to get our club back to where we think it belongs. It's been a long season, we've played a lot of games and I think it's been excellent to come here and to put the performance in we have, it's been really special. The aim at the start of the season was to get promotion back to the Premiership, it didn't matter how we did that but to do it through the play-offs is a really special feeling and one everyone here will cherish for a long time.' However, Brandon will not make the jump with his side after Livi confirmed the versatile defender has 'decided to move on' after his contract came to an end. A post on X read: 'Jamie Brandon will depart the club on the expiry of his contract. We're obviously disappointed that Jamie has decided to move on. Jamie was instrumental last season and played a big part in our Trust Trophy & league success & leaves after huge success. Good luck, Brando!' Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Jamie Brandon joins Kilmarnock Speculation over Brandon's next club has ramped up in recent days with suggestions new Kilmarnock manager Stuart Kettlewell is keen to sign the 27-year-old. That deal has now been completed, Brandon penning a two year deal. Kettlewell said: 'We're delighted to sign Jamie, there have been a lot of clubs competing for his signature, so to get this over the line, we are extremely pleased. He's been a standout performer for Livingston, and he adds to the leadership qualities that we already have in abundance here. He's exactly the type of character we want at this football club, he understands the demands of Scottish football. 'Jamie fits in with the profile of players that we already have here, his addition will complement our squad. We want to build a squad with strong foundations and a real hunger to push forward. Jamie ticks all the boxes in that regard, and I'm delighted he's chosen to continue his career here at Kilmarnock.'

Hibs hero shares why he knocked back Hearts and boozy night behind contract extension
He's a favourite of the Hibs support but has pulled back the curtain on time across the city - and offer from Hearts after his exit.

Learn More Sorry, there seem to be some issues. Please try again later. Submitting... A Hibs favourite has revealed the night with Premier League icons that tempted him to stay at Easter Road - and why Hearts advances were pushed back at the start of his career. Jason Cummings, now at India's Mohun Bagan, was in the Jambos youth academy before being released and making his name across the city. He spent four years as a senior player in Leith, helping Hibs win the Scottish Cup and Championship before heading south of the border to Nottingham Forest. With his family connections to Hearts, Cummings has opened up on his time at the club and subsequent offer that came after crediting a key Hibs figure with bouncing back from injury woe. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad He told Open Goal: 'I was brought up a Hearts fan. My old man, he's a big Jambo. I was there at 5-1, greeting my eyes out, loved it. It was my dream growing up. I was at Hutchison Vale then Hearts, maybe about 12, till about... They released me at like, 16. But I had bad injuries on my knee. That's what killed me, because I was flying, I was doing well. I done my cruciate. I was young, I was 15. I remember doing it. Twisting my knee and it blew up .But see at the time, you'd never even heard of a cruciate. When you're that young, you're like... I've just twisted my knee. So then I actually remember, about a week later it kind of went away and I played on. I remember just playing through it and I done it again. Jason Cummings on time at Hearts 'Then I went and I got a look, I got a scan and then it was the cruciate. Then I came back from that then I done my knee again in training. I was devastated but it was my meniscus. So then I got that repaired. I came back again and I'm talking I'm only back for a few days. Done it again. When you're at that age, 15, 16, and all you want to be is a football player, three big operations and I was out for, like, a year and a half. Hearts would put me through just like the NHS. Then when I got back I only had a couple months, really, to earn a new contract before it goes full-time. So then I didn't really have enough time to get into it and they let me go. 'I thought it wasn't for me, kind of. It was like 'I am going to be a footballer no matter what' but then when that happened round about that age. I've left school, I've not went full-time, so I'm like, it's not for me. I went back to Hutchie Vale to play with my mates. I had to get a job, I was a gardener for, like, a year and a half. 'I just fell back in love with footy again and I was just playing my mates, enjoying it. But I was doing well, scoring goals still. And then Hibs came in for me. Shoutout James McDonaugh. Legend, it was him that kind of started my career. He came to the Hutchie games and he was like, 'we'll get you in at Hibs for a trial, you're doing well', and he signed me at Hibs. Hearts came in for me as well. When they found out that Hibs came in for me then, Hearts actually rang me up and all, and were like, well, you want to come here? We'll take you on. I'm like, very good, mate.' Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad How Neil Lennon convinced him to stay at Hibs Then as he pondered leaving Hibs, Neil Lennon arrived, and a boozy night at Euro 2016 with some legends of the Premier League playing their part. Cummings explained: 'I was about to leave at that point. But then he's phoned my agent and went, get over here, I'm doing the Euros, punditry. He's phoned me and said right, get over here. So me and my agent went over he's got us tickets for a game. He's like, right, come and meet us. I'm just in the bar, just over the road. He's finished in the punditry so I went in and then Lenny's there like, 'ah, Cummings. How are you getting on mate?' 'He's sitting there with Alan Shearer, Rio Ferdinand, Martin Keown, John Hartson, full Bhuna. He's like, 'this is my star signing, Cummings, you're playing with me next year, Shearer, tell him that'. 'Got to sign with Lenny, He'll look after you.' So Lennon's like, you want a drink? We went back to the hotel boardroom. 'All on it and we had the karaoke up. Shearer's up singing. What did Shearer sing? All night long. Lenny's like, 'Cummings, you've got to sing Sunshine on Leith and you're signing with me next year.' I'm like, f*** it. I'm up there singing Sunshine on Leith with Rio Ferdinand and that. Honestly, best night ever. So after that, I'm thinking he's a hero, I'm staying another year with him.'

Magic Kieran Tierney moments Celtic fans want to see again including A&E dash, megaphone chats and 40 yard rockets
Hoops fans are welcoming back their hero and Record Sport looks back at the times that made the defender a favourite Celtic fans are celebrating the return of Kieran Tierney and they are hoping the rampaging fullback can pick up where he left off at Parkhead. The 28-year-old left a modern day legend five-and-a-half years ago when Arsenal made an offer the club and player couldn't refuse. But he departed having made some incredible history – and picked up a ton of silverware. There's a reason Tierney is a fans' favourite and here six of his best memorable moments as supporters prepare for more. Mega man When Hoops fans picture Tierney, there is one image that sticks in their minds more than most – the scenes with the star and the megaphone. The defender was worshiped in the stands, and no more so than by the punters packed in the standing section. They knew Tierney would more than likely be in there with them if he wasn't on the pitch. And the connection was witnessed like never before when he went into the stands to pick up a megaphone to lead the sing-song celebrations after lifting the Premiership title in 2017. He repeated the trick at Hampden after the League Cup Final win six months later and a legend was born. Tierney said: 'It was seriously like an out-of-body experience. I've got the megaphone and I'm leading the chants with people I used to actually sit in the stands with. That is fairytale stuff.' Hampden heroics Tierney wowed the punters with his displays on the pitch in his time at Celtic – but it was a huge act off it that endeared him even more to the supporters. The Scottish Cup Final in 2017 could have been a nightmare for the full back as he was forced off inside the opening few minutes after taking a hefty blow in the mouth thanks to an elbow from Aberdeen's Jayden Stockley. Tierney was whisked away to hospital while the action raged on, with docs fearing a broken jaw at worst and several smashed teeth at best. But instead of sticking on the gurney and putting the feet up, KT checked himself out and headed back to the National Stadium – where he arrived in time to see Tom Rogic's dramatic winner to clinch the invincible Treble and then take part in all the post match celebrations. Even a bloody mouth didn't hold him back. Sharp shooter Tierney's attacking displays down the left led to a ton of goals for others but he had to wait a while to open his own account. He finally hit the net on trophy day at the end of his first full campaign, as Celts rounded off with a 7-0 victory against Motherwell as boss Ronny Delia said his goodbyes. Incredibly, for a player with a wicked left peg, it was his right foot that got him up and running, as he cut inside from the flank and buried in the bottom corner. Blast from the past Tierney got into a tie habit of notching from time to time and followed that debut season with a neat header in Inverness and a thumping strike against Ross County. But there's one strike that stands out from the lot – THAT hit against Kilmarnock. KT was never shy at having a pop but not many expected him to let go when he picked up the ball 45 yards from goal. Instead, he set himself and unleashed a rocket that screamed all the way into the top corner. It was one of those goals where the cheers don't come straight away. There's almost a pause as supporters can't quite believe what they've seen – and then there was the eruption. Pittodrie powerhouse There were too many top performances to mention, with star turns in thumping wins over Rangers and class displays on an almost weekly basis. But a couple of games in the Granite City also stood out – and summed him up. In a 3-0 win at Pittodrie Tierney raced 70 yards up the pitch to get on the end of an Olivier Ntcham cutback to score. And there was another lung burster later in the game when he dashed forward and picked out Moussa Dembele. The away support will remember the later clash though when Celts were 1-0 but down to 10 men and KT went on another charge the length of the pitch before slamming into the top corner to seal the victory. Eur up to the job It was quickly clear Tierney was top notch in Scotland with his displays on a weekly basis. Yet he enhanced his reputation even further with his performances in Europe. There was a goal in a Europa League victory against RB Leipzig in Rodgers' third campaign. It was the showing against Manchester City in his first taste of Parkhead in the Champions League where he really looked the real deal. Celts went toe-to-toe with the English big guns in Glasgow and KT was one of the stars of the show. He ran at the City backline all night and defended like his life depended on it at the other end. UEFA decided Raheem Sterling had scored an own goal in the 3-3 epic, but it was all down to Tierney as he proved he was cut out to play at the very top.
