Hibs’ midfielder John McGinn insists that the confidence of the squad has not been knocked after their 4-2 defeat at Ibrox on Monday.
The Scotland Under 21 captain has been in fine form since joining the club in the summer and he is looking forward to putting another long unbeaten run together, starting at Easter Road on Saturday against Raith Rovers.
Hibs dropped to third place last night when Falkirk beat Livingston, but Stubbs’ men have a game in hand over the Bairns and a victory over Raith Rovers will see them back on track in the race for automatic promotion.
Speaking to Hibs TV, he said: “If you put it into perspective one defeat in 18 isn’t too bad at all, we just need to try and put a similar run together. Our confidence has not been dented.
“We know it was just a minor blip in what was a really good run. We know we’ve got the players in here that can put together another run like that.”
McGinn was also full of praise for the fans and the support they have given the team this season, both at home and away.
“They have been brilliant all season, they’ve come back in their numbers now and it has really given the team a boost.
“The 900 that travelled to Ibrox were in fine voice and I hope they come along on Saturday and bring their pals.”
John graduated from Telford College in 2010 with an HNC in Practical Journalism and since then he worked for the North Edinburgh News, The Southern Reporter, the Irish News Review and The Edinburgh Reporter. In addition he has been published in the Edinburgh Evening News and the Hibernian FC Programme.
