Florian Kamberi insists that the Hibs’ players have the character to overtake Rangers and Aberdeen to finish second in the league.

The popular Swiss striker has yet to appear on a losing side since arriving on-loan during the January transfer window and he added to his goal tally with a superb strike against Kilmarnock on Saturday.

ThereĀ is much more to his game than goals however and he played a pivotal role in Scott Alan’s opener.

Nil Lennon recently revealed that Hibs and parent club Grasshoppers have provisionally agreed a fee and the fans are desperate for him to remain at Easter Road.

Speaking after Saturday’s epic 5-3 victory over fifth placed Kilmarnock, Kamberi said:ā€œIt was a big season for Hibs last season in the Championship and now we are in theĀ PremiershipĀ fighting for second place.

ā€œWe canā€™t forget how far weā€™ve come.we are on a good run and hopefully we can end up second.

ā€œWeā€™ve certainly showed we have the character to do it.

ā€œWeā€™ve now won two difficult games and we showed character up to theĀ 95th minute.

ā€œOur opponents know what qualities we have and we havenā€™t lost a game since January.

“Our last loss came against Celtic, so our opponents know our strength and it is not easy when they know we have big qualities.

ā€œThey know they have to be well organised against us but we are doing very well.

ā€œAberdeen and Rangers are more under pressure than us.
