After the game on Saturday Hibs will be saying cheerio to 5 or 6 players from our first team squad because of loans finishing and contracts expiring so I hardly expect them to bust a gut to achieve something they will not be part of.
The same thing happened last year when the team won the first leg and threw it away in the second. There were 7 first team regulars cast adrift after that game and they all knew they were going before the return leg. Hardly surprising that the team produced one of the worst displays of the season that day and I am convinced we will see a team going through the motions on Saturday.
Sadly this means that Alan Stubbs will be scraping around looking for players in July when, with the backing of the board. he could have signed the nucleus of a decent team long before now.

There was a bit of hullabaloo about your allocation for the playoff but when you looked at the facts behind it the fuss was really that we hadn't increased your allocation (And why should we have? Oh, because it's an important match. So? Since when did clubs have an obligation try to help the opposition?). Hibs, I believe, have reduced the allocation. I for one don't have a problem with you or any other club limiting the away fans to whatever allocation is mandatory. Just part of the game.

That said, it was funny to see one Hibs fan fall flat on his face by spouting the old sporting integrity crap to try to attack Rangers...just before his own club announced their intention to cut the away allocations for their own playoff games.
