"Despite their loss in Milan, Hibs can take plenty of heart from the first leg. Coach Joelle Murray was full of praise for the side after their defeat, saying the players "never let their head down, not once within the 90 minutes". A similar level of effort, discipline and commitment will be needed if they are to come close to overhauling the deficit at Easter Road."
""We have to be ready from minute one," Hunter said. "I think the two early goals probably killed the game too early for us. So we have to be ready to come out flying. "I think the majority of the time we were hard to beat, but it's just those little concentration collapses and they can score. "They're a massive team and they've got so much quality and they will punish you at that level.""
Hibernian suffered a 4-1 defeat at Inter Milan and face a steep task to overturn a three-goal deficit in the Europa Cup first qualifying round second leg at Easter Road. The squad showed resilience and received praise despite conceding two early goals that the side described as killing the game. Eilidh Adams' strike offered encouragement and the team aim to draw on their title-winning experience and recent 5-0 domestic win over Montrose. Glasgow City enjoy a 3-0 first-leg lead over Athlone Town and approach their return fixture with greater comfort.
