Alan Stubbs says he is looking forward to Sunday’s friendly against Dundee United at Easter Road after goals from Jordon Forster and Alex Harris ensured Hibs’ unbeaten run during the pre-season programme extended to four matches with the squad still yet to concede so far this summer.
Speaking to Hibernian TV ) Stubbs said: “Looking at the players, they’ve been fantastic since I’ve come in – they’ve been great.
“They’ve shown a desire and an attitude to do everything that I’ve asked of them and they’re the ones, who are now getting the rewards.
“The players deserve all the credit – not me – which is great. There is a real togetherness amongst them; they want to make this work and have a really successful season.
“We’re all in this together – it’s as simple as that. I’m 100% behind the players and they know that.
“We want the fans to be right behind us and they have been throughout pre-season.
“That’s been great brilliant because the players want the supporters to go away from games happy.
“There may be a hiccup along the way – we possibly aren’t going to win every game – but as long as the players are giving 100% and looking to do the right things on the pitch then any fan would accept that.
“The fans have backed us, they’ve been very supportive and when we have our first game back at Easter Road on Sunday I’m expecting the same – it will be great.”
