This will be a welcome fixture to quickly follow on from Hibs Scottish Cup tie at Tannadice. And it comes at a time when the Accies board is in consternation re their manager's voluntary revelation to the SFA that he still has a gambling addiction that he really needs to redress. Re this Premiership match, JR has injury probs but luckily the affected positions are covered by Gray and Magregor. IMO we still need more cover/more players in asap! We'll see how Hibs tackle this fixture but I hope the guys just play out a good expansive game of footie and try to win it in style. I'd like to see Omeonga "battling" in the midfield area and hopefully Slivka has recovered from his recent injury to participate too. Poss Daryl Horgan to be given a start as well.

Interestingly rice was talking about how 'inspiring' it was getting humped off sevco 5-0.....

Could you really trust him when Hamilton say none of the games he bet on were involving accies ?

Utterly embarrassing first 45 mins, play like that in Motherwell next week with hopeless performances from all except Doidge from that first 45 we will get hammered. At least the second half cant be any worse.?

Got the win in the second half but lets not pretend everything is great, Allan off the ball again, Slivka mince, David Gray looks unfit....ollie shaw apparantly opted for the permanent move to Ross County rather than Jack Ross's preferred loan move, ALOT of work needed, play like that against better opponents we will be well and truly hammered by half time!

A welcome 3 pts tonight but I must agree that Hibs are not "in a good place" based on watching the last two matches. Re Scott Allan, I think JR should "drop him" but he won't do that because there is no proper cover for that position!! If he plays as crap as that, he deserves to be dropped all the same!! IMO David Gray playing two consecutive games was a "step too far"! Slivka? Was he still carrying an injury???? One special mention for Paul Hanlon who showed the conviction to head that winning goal so late in the game. I think Jack Ross really has to sit down and analyse this game TBF!! The end conclusion is that we need more players but the manager and Director of Football need to choose wisely!

First half was as bad as I've seen us, like right back to the clueless days of the Yorkshire bore. Credit to ross though, he made the right changes and turned the game right round. Much better second half and probably should’ve had more goals, with Kamberi and Horgan both missing a couple easy enough chances.

Allan's having a bit of a mare, he keeps looking for the Hollywood pass - and he is capable....but just keep it simple ffs.

We need at least 2 signings this window I'd say, maybe 3.

Aye! I think the most apt description of it was "a game of two halves"! Horgan will be having nightmares re that "sitter" in the 2nd half! Too frenetic sometimes and not enough guile just to "lift a ball" at a different speed and make sure it ends up in the net well away from a floundering goalie!
