Hibs’ youngster Fraser Murray believes that winning group D of the Betfred Cup will give him and his team mates confidence ahead of the forthcoming league campaign.
The highly regarded teenager has been in great form, earning plaudits from the fans as well as Head Coach Neil Lennon and he didn’t do his chances of starting next Saturday any harm with a goal against Alloa Athletic in yesterday’s 3-0 victory.
Murray also praised the contribution of his namesake, Simon Murray who notched the two other goals, taking his tally to seven already.
Speaking after the game to Hibernian TV, Murray said: ” It was good to get another goal. we’ve been doing well this pre-season in the cup with a few quite convincing wins.
“We have been playing well so we have nothing to fear going into the season. in the top flight in Scotland.
“It was good to win the group ahead of Ross County and that will give us confidence. I’m looking forward to the next round of the Betfred Cup and don’t mind who we play next.
“It’s been good to play alongside Simon (Murray). He never stops running and never stops working and he is always on the move so it’s good to have him play in front of me. and it was good to see Paul (Hanlon) back as well. It’s been a long time.”
