Hibs Women continued their fine start to the season with a comprehensive win against Dundee United at Meadowbank last night.
Linzi Taylor and Eilidh Adams both scored twice before Mya Christie made it 5-0 at the break.
Kathleen McGovern added a sixth deep into the second half.
After the final whistle Hibs Head Coach Grant Scott told Hibs TV:
“We’re in a good place at the moment.
“The team looked very comfortable again tonight. We made a few changes, rested a few players and made substitutions.
“I’m delighted with the clean sheet again and another three points.”
Scott was full of praise for Taylor.
“She played against us last year in that [advanced] role.
“If I’m being honest, she crucified us at times in a couple of matches.
“We were very keen on bringing her to the club. You seen tonight what she can offer.
“She’s had to bide her time and has given us a proper headache as well.
“I’m delighted for her. She’s came in and applied herself really, really well. She’s a great character to have in the team.”
“I’m delighted,” Taylor told Hibs TV. “Overall performance from the group was fantastic first-half.
“We know we let standards drop second half, but that’s the high standards that have been set since the start of the season.
“Even though we did get the six goals, we are still disappointed. But there are still so many positives to take.”
Despite the collective disappointment at scoring just the six goals in Wednesday’s victory, Taylor insists team spirit her time at Hibs has started excellently both on and off the pitch.
“It’s been great. I’m enjoying every second of it. The girls, coaching staff and backroom staff have been fantastic.
“Here, I can only improve as a player and a person.
“I think one of my strengths as a player is that I can fit into many roles and do a job.
“But I’m just happy to help the team out in any way I can.”
