Two days to go and Hibs have now returned from La Cala, refreshed and fully prepared for the challenges of another cup final, this time v The Staggies. Will we win it? Well IMO Stubbsy has a Hibs line up available to him that will win it. However, will he choose wisely?
His likely team will be:
Oxley
Gray McGregor Hanlon Stevo
Bartley
Hendo McGinn Thomo
Cummings Stokes
Two of these positions bother me. One of them is Oxley in goal in this type of nervy match! The other situation that bothers me is Keatings prob being omitted. I think his recent high energy performance v ICT earned him a place but that's just my opinion! I watched the highlights of the Staggies semi-final v Celtic and what struck me from that match was the fact Celtic should've been 3-0 up after only 12 mins! The Staggies literally fielded an 'open door defence' and the main offender for Celtic was Leigh Griffiths who didn't capitalise enough although he did score one goal. I hope Stubbs has noted that flaw, particularly in the centre of their defence!
