Hibs’ Head Coach Alan Stubbs was delighted with his players’ performance in yesterday’s 5-0 win against Cowdenbeath at Easter Road.
Stubbs decided to keep faith with the starting XI who threw away a 3-1 lead against Falkirk last weekend although he swapped full backs with Lewis Stevenson moving to right back and Callum Booth returning to his preferred left back spot.
His faith was more than justified as Hibs never looked in any danger against Jimmy Nichol’s team and the win moved the Easter Road side three points clear of Queen of the South whom they meet at Palmerston Park next week.
After the game Stubbs told Hibs TV: “I’m delighted with everything that happened – the five different goalscorers, a clean sheet and a win – it was a good day all-round.
“We’ve totally controlled the game for long periods, moved the ball around well and we were patient in the second half before taking the chances to make it 5-0.
“Next Saturday is a massive game for us and we will prepare correctly for Queen of the South.
“We know it will be a tough game, but one that we will be ready for.”
