Hibernian play host to Falkirk at Easter Road Stadium on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The The Hibees are clearly on top, having won 47 and lost only 17 of the 79 games.
The last time the two teams met at Hibernian was back in May 1999, over five years ago, the The Hibees carving out a narrow 2-1 victory in a Scottish Division One match.

FootyMad's prediction ...
Its a close one to call, but I think that The Hibees's reasonable showing at home is going to see them scrape past Falkirk. Home Win
