Another match and another poss 3 pts for Hibs to consolidate their top position with few games remaining until season end - the finishing line is in sight! However, this game is potentially a 'powder keg' for reasons that are not conducive to the sport of footie. All because of the actions of one Morton player TBF who 'sparked' a feisty match at ER into a pitch brawl. Now they have their return fixture v Hibs at Cappielow and I hope they don't try an 'offended party' routine because they were clearly not the victims and were indeed the offenders!!
I suspect the SFA will likely appoint one of their more experienced refs to officiate the game but I also reckon that it will prob be a 'damp squib' of a game after all the media hype etc that followed that melee. David Gray is fit again, as is likely with Paul Hanlon too. If I was Lenny, I'd leave Darren McGregor on the subs' bench even if he is not suspended but that's just my view. Brian Graham to start up front with Jason? I dunno what to make of Graham TBF! Poss not being started enough in matches? Hence his poor striking ability and general contribution in games? It's a pity Humphrey isn't fit to change it a wee bit but it looks like Boyly will be the main feeder again on Hibs right wing. I hope he plays well and gives their defence a 'hard time'. C'mon Hibs - gotta keep up the momentum in front of a big travelling support!
