Hibs ‘star man’ Martin Boyle believes there is everything still to play for ahead of tonight’s UEFA Conference League Play-Off with Legia Warsaw.
Hibs head to Warsaw 2-1 down after Josh Mulligan’s late strike at Easter Road provided some hope.
And Boyle insists that the squad can take confidence from their recent away performances in Europe.
Speaking ahead of the game Boyle said: “We know what is at stake, we have set our targets at the start of the season and they haven’t changed. If we can start the way we started last week in the first leg and get an early goal, we know that can change the game.
“We know what we need to do, Josh’s goal gave us a lifeline and we know we need to score a couple of goals to give us a good chance of progressing.”
Hibs have had a full week to prepare for this one, having taken the opportunity to postpone their game at the weekend against Falkirk.
“Everyone is confident and looking forward to the game, we’ve had a good week training and a good rest at the weekend – so we will need to use that to our advantage.
“We know it is going to be hostile, we experienced that against Partizan – but we will have our away fans behind us and we know if we can get an early goal it’ll quieten them down.
“They are a very physical team and have got some good individual players going forward who carry an attacking threat – but so do we and we know that if we can put crosses into the box it will cause them problems, and we just need to make sure we take our chances.
“We know we will come under pressure at times in the game, but if we can soak that up and then hit them on the break, we will be effective. We need to take our chances when they come our way.”
