I tend to agree with that view but I'd also rely on the role of Hibs sports science people who will be involved in making sure that the players 'acclimatise' properly in the remaining 7 days before the match at the PBS. Remember that Hibs are not arriving at the PBS from the Algarve a day before this game. Also they are not the only Scot footie club on a 'winter break' abroad and we'll see who plays well and who plays badly. One could argue that a positive 'feel good factor' could prevail and surely that was one of the main intentions of arranging this venture and ultimately 'recharging the batteries'.
