'Party hats and party poppers' - Ex-Hibs striker celebrates Hearts defeat to St Mirren

Hearts are rooted to the bottom of the table after St Mirren defeat

Ex-Hibs striker Grant Holt celebrated Hearts’ defeat to St Mirren on Wednesday on social media.

The Tynecastle side fell to a 1-0 defeat in Paisley which leaves the club four points adrift at the foot of the table.

It was billed as one of the team’s most important matches of the campaign but Jonathan Obika’s second-half strike gave the home side a deserved win and moved them six points in front of Hearts.

Holt, who played for Hibs during their Championship-winning campaign of 2016/2017, enjoyed the result, posting on Twitter a range of emojis. There were a number of party hat and party popper emojis as well as a number of stunned faces.

One of Holt’s seven goals for Hibs came in a Scottish Cup replay against Hearts as the Easter Road side ran out 3-1 winners.

Scottish actor Tommy Flanagan, who starred in Braveheart and Sons of Anarchy, replied by saying “finally, some good news!”.

Meanwhile, ex-Hibs ace John McGinn tweeted: “Big night for the Buddies”.
