Martin Boyle hails Hibs ‘fantastic result’ against Aberdeen

Hibs’ ‘starman’ Martin Boyle said yesterday’s 3-0 victory
over Aberdeen was a ‘fantastic result’ but he insists that the team have to
keep pushing up the table.

Boyle scored twice as Hibs recorded their biggest home
league win over Aberdeen since 1957 and he insisted that the players had to put
on a performance for the fans after losing a two goal lead to Kilmarnock last
weekend and then suffering a 2-1 defeat to Ross County in Dingwall in midweek.

New Head Coach Jack Ross’s first objective when taking over
from Paul Heckingbottom was to guide the team into the top six but now that has
been achieved Boyle has higher ambitions.

Speaking after the final whistle Boyle told Hibs TV: “It was
a fantastic result for us. We need to keep pushing up the table.

“We grinded it out today. They are a strong outfit and their
position in the table doesn’t lie for them.

“They came here but we scored some good goals and the crowd
came out in their numbers.

“It was all about the team. The performance was the most
important thing. We had to get Wednesday out of the back of our mind and we
knew we had to put on a big performance today and we did.

“Like I say they are a good side but we stuck to the game
plan and grinded the first half out which gave us a good platform to go on and
win the game.

When asked about the sensational pass from Scott Allan which
led to the first goal, he joked: “It was a good pass (from Scott Allan) but it
was all about the run. We know what he is capable of and if I can make the runs
he can find them and today thankfully I was there to put the ball in the back
of the net.”
