Anyone read Bathgate's Scotsman article?

Is he setting us up for a fall?

Personally, I am more hopeful of a win compared to the past seven or eight games. We need to win to stop Hertz building up another long sequence of games without defeat in this fixture!

Very pro Hibs article. For me it's finely balanced and even though we have home advantage and better form this is balanced out by not playing for a while and they (IMHO) have a bit more creativity in driver, skacel and Templeton.

Can't say as I'm too bothered about the views of Stuart Bathgate, or any other sports journalist, regarding the outcome of the game (although I hope he's correct:wink:) I'm more impressed by CC stating that a Hibs win would be 'unexpected'. Maybe I've missed them, but I haven't noticed any of our players predicting a win in the papers either. Always better do do the talking on the park.

Bathgate absolutely abhors Hibs and this kind of article is simply designed to strengthen the Jambos' resolve to beat us. It might just backfire on him this time.
