Lee Johnson in Hibs 'doesn't get bigger than that' with Rangers, Celtic and Hearts on horizon

Lee Johnson admits Hibs' end of season run-in 'doesn't get bigger than that for us'.

The Hibees will face Rangers, Celtic and Hearts in the space of six days as they bring their Scottish Premiership campaign to an end. The Easter Road side are currently sitting fifth, just one point behind their city rivals and six behind Aberdeen in the race for Europe.

Should Celtic complete a domestic Treble and win the Scottish Cup then fifth in the league will be enough for a Europa Conference League qualfying spot. The men from Leith currently hold that position with St Mirren trialing them by three points and with a worse goal difference.
