It’s a record that speaks to the durability of this Hibs team. A 17-game stretch that puts the class of season 2024-25 in some extremely exalted company.
Nobody is pretending that equalling a 77-year-old club record for unbeaten league games puts David Gray’s team on a par with the title winners of 1948, back when the Famous Five were building their reputations as all-time greats. Even to suggest as much would be akin to heresy in the eyes of most supporters.
But the fans who applauded their heroes at the end of Sunday’s 4-0 thrashing of Dundee, the biggest league win of the season for Gray’s side, know that they’re witnessing something special. A team who refuse to lose. A group of players who currently sit three points - and a whole hatful of goals - ahead of their nearest challenges for third place.
As the Scottish Premiership breaks before resuming post-split hostilities, we take a look back at every single game in this record series. Some have been more memorable than others. Each has been an important building block in the construction of something special.
5. St Johnstone 1 Hibs 1 - Thursday, January 2
Just a brute of a game on a bad pitch, as a tired looking Hibs needed Dwight Gayle's late equaliser to keep the unbeaten run going. | SNS Group
6. Hibs 3 Rangers 3 - Sunday, January 5
Rocky Bushiri, man. What a scene stealer he's turning out to be. After THAT goal against Aberdeen, he bagged another late equaliser in a ridiculously entertaining encounter with Rangers at Easter Road. Martin Boyle scored twice for the home side, while Hamza Igamane netted a hat-trick. Bonkers, in a very Scottish Premiership way. | SNS Group
7. Hibs 3 Motherwell 1 - Saturday, January 11
A hugely significant result as David Gray's men moved into the top six for the first time. Martin Boyle bagged another double either side of a goal by Nectar Triantis, pictured celebrating his big moment at Easter Road. | SNS Group

8. Ross County 1 Hibs 1 - Saturday, January 25
A horrible pitch and a late penalty concession to drop two points in Dingwall. Not a game many will remember with much fondness, although Dylan Levitt did score a nice goal. | SNS Group
