The 'trick' for Stubbsy is effective player rotation - resting players as much as he can and utilising other squad players who can 'do a job' on Raith Rovers'. For example, I think John McGinn needs a rest but he's such a key player for Hibs. He's clearly resting Gray and Darren Mac and it will be curious to see Stubbs' formation v an improved Raith team but one that we can definitely beat home and away. I'd luv to see a Hibs 'tanking' of the rovers on Wed night, in order to render the second match to be no more than a 'bounce match' - prob won't happen but it would be welcome in order to rest more of our players.
