Former Hibs midfielder Scott Allan thinks the Easter Road side are putting together a run of form at 'the most crucial time', as they went five games unbeaten this weekend.
Thanks to their routine 2-0 win over Ross County, Hibs headed into the top six for the first time since January.
"I was in this situation with Shaun Maloney a couple of years ago," Allan said on the Scottish Football Podcast.
"We were needing one win for about five weeks just to get in the top six. It seems like Nick Montgomery is putting a run together just at probably the most crucial time and Hibs are gaining confidence from it."
Allan also singled out one January signing for praise - a man who plays in a similar position to himself.
"Marcondes looks like he's got a little bit of stardust," Allan added. "I watched the [Edinburgh] derby during the weekend and you could see he's got a little something extra, something Hibs were missing.
"You're starting to see that now, they've got pace all over the pitch. I think [Jordan] Obita has come in and been excellent for Hibs this season."
