I'm baffled why Farid wasn't brought on within the first hour - in a game where we had a ridiculous amount of corners and crosses the best header of a ball is on the bench. Very disapointed with mcgeough coming on who offered nothing. Robertson poor tonight along with Cummings (he appeared to be 1-2 yards off the pace with no sharpness!!) who was awful and as for our yappy captain Craig - what a shadow of any truly inspiring previous Hibs captains. Malonga played well and did his best to link up imo, Allan tried his best to lift us but was just hounded out.
We need to lift ourselves and pray we get an early goal on Saturday. Don't see it myself though. I think the tie is sadly finished. As for Rangers, I can't believe how poor a side they actually are. Their 1st goal was well played by Vuckic but the preceding barge through Robertson's back was a foul - still a good goal but dismal Hibs defending. As for their second goal - real quality eh - a high up n under lob and wtf were Hibs defenders thinking about? And why did Oxley run off his goal line and not remain where he was to cover the angled shot from his goal!! IMO neither of these sides will beat Motherwell anyway, even without their wee striker, McDonald - I can't see it happening!! Still, it makes for good theatre. Oh yeah, I hope they are heavily fined, UEFA style, for the missile throwing - totally out of order and well over the top in terms of the duration of the match that they persisted in flinging missiles on to the pitch and indeed at Hibs players. FINE THEM AND SEVERELY WARN THEM RE FUTURE UNACCEPTABLE CONDUCT SFA and endorse a standard of behaviour that is expected and should be strictly enforced!!
