Well this is a case of what team will SM field v lesser opponents. He favours expansive footie. Therefore he'll undoubtedly be looking at a hi-press lineup. It was interesting to note Maloney mentioning a perceived problem at Celtic Park re not really doing it in the "final third" of the pitch. My observation of this match was Hibs players passing with no purpose for a good part of the game and the worrying sight of still scorning some vg scoring opps was nothing new TBF. I'm sure Maloney will be emphasising that fact to the players who will start this match - lets try to score a good few goals and at least try to "light up" this cup tie in front of returning Hibs fans. C'mon Hibs!

Getting through is all that matters in cup games. But yeah the reffing was absolutely rotten last night.
Fans moaning really need to give it a rest. We have had 3 very hard games to start with and won 2 of them and got through a tough tie, they need to give it a rest.

As I've posted elsewhere, it was a dire performance, but we did deserve to go through. I'm not usually a ref-basher but last night's performance was even more dire. Maloney has brought in a lot of new faces and is overseeing Boyle go out, so give him a lot of time to get his plans into action.

I used to think the refs were just incompetent, useless arseholes. Now i'm pretty sure they are just openly cheating.
