THERE weren’t many happy people when Twitter changed its “favourites”, with a star, to “likes”, with a heart – but Edinburgh club Hibernian FC have more reason to be annoyed than most.

Now, whenever someone likes their tweet, they’ll be reminded of their cross-city rivals Hearts.

Inverness Caley Thistle complained about the change but Hibs replied, telling them to stay in their lane.

Of course, it also means Hearts are pretty happy at being able to torment their rivals, who are already a league below them in Scotland.

None of it will matter to Hibs if they get promotion back to the top division this season for the first time since 2013-14, which they’re currently on track to do, sitting second behind Rangers.

Meanwhile Hearts are second in the top division, and feeling good about life.
