"During a break in play after Jordan Obita's red card, Elie Youan proceeds to show off his keepie-uppie skills at the opposite end of the pitch. A moment that would be lambasted by John McGinn, Michael Stewart and Marvin Bartley, the former Hibs trio suggested it typified a care-free attitude in David Gray's side, who went on to capitulate in a 4-1 defeat at Dens Park."
"In the 10 months since, Gray's men have lost just three league games - but European heartbreak and a stuttering start to the campaign has followed a remarkable recovery to finish third last term. So, with the chance to book a Premier Sports Cup semi-final place this Saturday at unravelling Rangers, what is the next step for this Hibs team?"
Last November Hibernian were in freefall, leading at Dundee but reduced to 10 men after Jordan Obita's red card and then conceded a 4-1 defeat after Elie Youan's keepie-uppie provoked criticism from former Hibs players. Over the following ten months Hibernian lost just three league matches, staged a remarkable recovery and finished third in the Premiership. European disappointment and a slow start to the new season marred progress, but Hibs remain unbeaten in third place and have a game in hand. This weekend Hibernian face Rangers in the Premier Sports Cup quarter-final with a semi-final place at stake.
