I don't think most Hibs fans are convinced we will go through. I think we showed last night we are the better side but with the return leg being in Croatia, and the heat, it certainly makes it a very even match.

Before the tie I made Rijeka favourites about 75/25 in your favour. I've got to be honest and say you were not anywhere near as good as I assumed you would be and I reckon the tie is probably 50/50 now.

Think everyone was caught up in the Rijeka hype - even the Hibs players. I was quite shocked at how poor they were on the ball and how panicked they were at the back when pressed. No question, they were well organised, but that's all you can say. Rijeka are no better than a Motherwell or St Johnstone.

Hibs & Jack Ross will now know that and that's why you are hearing them talk about beating Rijeka over the two legs. Think we've got a good chance of going though.

Know they've come in for some stick for time-wasting and playing dead, but I was pleasantly surprised how well they competed, took tackles and just got on with it. None of the usual histrionics you usually get from Continental clubs at ER.
