After winning their last two matches, Hibs have shown a different side to their game ahead of a testing run of fixtures in December.

Sandwiched between home games against Aberdeen and Hearts at the beginning and end of the month are four away trips in a row.

Prior to the last home fixture against Kilmarnock, Hibs were on a run of seven without a win, Nick Montgomery said: ā€œIā€™ve been really happy with the improvements weā€™ve made.

ā€œNow I just want to continue to push forward and turn some of these draws into wins.ā€

Since then, they have done exactly that, grinding out victories against difficult opponents in Kilmarnock and Dundee.

A turn in fortunes for Portuguese youngster Jair Tavares has coincided with Hibsā€™ recent form.

The 22-year-old was exiled under previous management but has flourished since the arrival of Montgomery, scoring two goals in four games, and putting in a man of the match performance against Dundee.

Tavares and Hibs will look to continue their run of victories as they approach the hectic festive footballing period.
