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.
"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?"
