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.

Millen's contract is set to expire in the summer and he will be informed that it is not going to be extended.

Full-time dentist set to compete with Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler at US Open weeks after losing dad to cancer
Golfer admitted it promises to be an emotional weekend AMAZING PLAQUE STORY Full-time dentist set to compete with Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler at US Open weeks after losing dad to cancer Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) DENTIST Matt Vogt is determined to extract as much joy as possible from his emotional homecoming, as he makes his US Open debut just a couple of months after losing his father to cancer. The fact that the tournament is being played at Oakmont in Pennsylvania - where Vogt caddied for six years as a youngster before earning a college scholarship - makes the event even more poignant.

So he is guaranteed plenty of support this week, especially as TV stations in the US have been portraying his story as a modern-day fairytale. At 6ft 6in, the big-hitting amateur will not be hard to spot. And he expects to experience an emotional roller-coaster over the next few days. His dad, Jim, died from colon cancer just a few weeks before Vogt earned a spot in the US Open field the hard way - winning a regional heat, and then finishing top of the pile again in a hotly-contested final qualifier. Back-to-back 68s at Wine Valley in Washington saw him finish ahead of plenty of seasoned PGA Tour players. So he has plenty of game, despite the fact he has never even considered turning professional himself. Vogt alternated between smiling broadly and fighting back tears, as he explained what it meant to be teeing off in a Major championship just a few yards away from where he used to hang out in the caddyshack. CASINO SPECIAL - BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS He commented: 'Oh, wow. Oh my goodness. I don't know where to start. "I just hope that what has happened to me will be an inspiration to anyone who is going through a tough time, wondering when the next good thing will happen. Inside Bryson DeChambeau's US Open preparation with 'fun side quests' on helicopter and racing Indy500 cars 'I think everyone knows about my dad's passing, and it's bound to be on my mind a lot this week, especially with it being Father's Day on Sunday. 'Even walking up the ninth fairway today after signing some autographs for some little kids - which was pretty awesome, by the way - I kind of looked up and thought about it. 'Anyone who's lost a parent, you feel these brief spurts of emotion, from time to time. "He had colon cancer. I wear the blue ribbon for that, and I say a prayer every night for people who have been affected by cancer. 'It's a horrible, horrible thing. He got that diagnosis last year, and it wasn't good. "Over the past few months before his passing, you could see it was starting to take a toll. So it's emotional, but honestly, I know he's in a better place. 'He was beginning to suffer, and that's something no one ever wants to see. "Although I wish he was still here with us, there's a sense of peace among our family. And I hope he's at peace as well, because it was hard. 'And for me, I have a 15-month-old daughter now, and the last few months, I feel like in a way I've gone from a boy to a man, and like matured as a person and as a dad.' Vogt, who has played in the US Amateur and Mid-Amateur golf tournaments, has been inundated with good luck messages from his patients, fellow dentists, other players - and the local caddies, who are all rooting for him. 5 Vogt knows he will have plenty of colleagues rooting for him Credit: INSTAGRAM @thedentistsatgc

Bukayo Saka feared he wouldn't be the same player after Arsenal injury hell as kind gesture to hospital staff revealed
Saka had surgery at 5am to allow staff to enjoy Christmas BUK TO HIS BEST Bukayo Saka feared he wouldn't be the same player after Arsenal injury hell as kind gesture to hospital staff revealed Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) BUKAYO SAKA lay in his hospital bed on Christmas Eve, doubting whether he would be as good a player in the future as he had been in the past. But thanks to a self-help book and the mindful joy of a new puppy, the England and Arsenal star has returned from hamstring surgery focused only on the present. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 6 Buyako Saka was 'worried' about his future after having surgery just before Christmas 6 Saka tore his hamstring against Crystal Palace in December And it is that perspective that can help put a frustrating campaign — that began with a Euros final loss for England and ended trophyless for his club — behind him. Saka, 23, said: 'I was not happy with last season — how it went and how it ended. 'But the only thing I can do now is look forward and try to be the best version of myself and help my team-mates be the same.' The Londoner went under the knife on December 24 after sustaining the injury three days prior in a 5-1 win at Crystal Palace. READ MORE FOOTBALL NEWS NOTT ON Forest 'write to Uefa over Palace Europa League decision' and stand to benefit In typical, kind fashion, he opted to do the procedure 24 hours before Christmas so the surgeons could be with their nearest and dearest the following day. He made it home to spend Christmas with his loved ones but what followed was nearly four months out which he used for self-reflection. The Gunners talisman said: 'I had gone from five years straight playing football, either involved with the team every single day training or playing games. Everything stops. 'You are on crutches, in hospital and need help around the house for the first few weeks. Join SUN CLUB for the Chelsea Files every Tuesday plus in-depth coverage and exclusives from Stamford Bridge 'I got to spend more time with my family and got to do little things around the house that I wouldn't have even paid attention to when I was playing. 'On that note it was nice and I've come back with a bit more of a balanced head about football and life, and I'm trying to balance them better. It definitely helped me mentally. Arsenal star Bukayo Saka's glam girlfriend Tolami Benson steals the show in daring outfit at The Fashion Awards 6 Saka returned in March and played a starring role in Arsenal's 3-0 win over Real Madrid 'The first two days were the toughest, that realisation that I've got what I've got and I need an operation. 'You start to think, 'Am I going to be the same?' as players came back from this injury and weren't the same. 'After two days my surgery was done, and successful, and you just look forward. I was really positive and put in all the work I needed with my diet, in the gym, on the pitch and the physios would say the same. I feel I've come back in a good place.' Saka is a keen reader of non-fiction and was inspired by a recommendation from Arsenal assistant coach Carlos Cuesta during his time sidelined. It is called The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle and its message struck a chord with the talented winger. He added: 'It's a really good book. It's about not thinking about the past, not thinking about the future, just being in the moment. You start to think, 'Am I going to be the same?' Saka 'Sometimes I can think, 'Oh, am I going to come back in the best shape?' Or, in the past, 'What could I have done to prevent injury?' 'But all that is not necessary. It's only going to bring bad energy, negativity to your body. 'One of the best things I took from the book is always ask yourself, what's necessary in this moment right now and try to live that way.' Saka spent Christmas Day in a brace and on crutches at his cousin's, having had surgery at 5am the previous day. He claimed it took him 'ten minutes' to get to the dining room for dinner. So when his lively new Cockapoo called Tucker turned up soon after, it was not easy 'to get after him', as Saka put it, even if having the pooch has been a 'good and funny experience'. On Tuesday against Senegal at Nottingham Forest's City Ground, Saka hopes to feature for the first time under Thomas Tuchel, who he describes as 'demanding and intense' on the grass but 'relaxed and nice' off it. Former Chelsea and Bayern Munich chief Tuchel has been brought in with the sole remit of winning the World Cup next year after a series of near-misses under predecessor Gareth Southgate. The German has won all three of his games, without conceding a goal, but underwhelmed with performances, especially in Saturday's drab 1-0 victory over Andorra in Barcelona. And Saka admits England sometimes have a motivation issue against the smaller nations. 6 Saka is eyeing his first England game under Thomas Tuchel 6 Arsenal team-mate Myles Lewis-Skelly has been called up to England again But the bottom line — and Saka knows this best after a tough 12 months — is that winning is what matters most. He added: 'Every player is different and I can't answer for every player but naturally in the bigger games everyone is going to give a bit more. 'In these other games we need to find a level where we can maintain that same quality and drive and hunger for the whole game. 'It's not easy at times but we need to find that and get these games over the line. 'The Andorra game, we still won, got another three points on the board and kept a clean sheet. It's job done. 'The expectation is to win, rather than entertain. If you can have both, then perfect. But we feel more the expectation is to win than to entertain.'

Ex-Hearts and Hibs man ranks Ibrox experience above all
The 28-year-old has spells at both Tynecastle and Easter Road. Mitchell initially joined Hearts on a loan spell from Manchester United in 2018. He spent a year and a half in Gorgie before taking the controversial step to sign for Hibs a few years later, in 2022. Read more: The now Exeter City man recently spoke on the 'From My Left' podcast: "I've played in some big derbies like Hearts and Hibs," he said. "I've played at Celtic Park. I've played at Ibrox. That's the noisiest stadium I've played in, Ibrox. Bro, when the ball went out for a corner, my ears were ringing, ringing!" Mitchell is not the first opposition to have been in awe of Rangers' home ground. Indeed, former Germany stars Sami Khedira and Mario Gomez recently praised Ibrox: "For me, the most craziest experience ever was my first Champions League match," said the former. "We played Glasgow Rangers and it was such an amazing experience." Gomez, who won the Champions League with Bayern Munich, said: "I would say the Scottish fans like Celtic but to me I played against the Rangers and I will never forget this. They've been really strong."
