Transcript

00:00Well, another very, very impressive performance by Hibs, they seem to keep saying this a lot

00:15at the moment, they've come through a really tough schedule over the festive period and

00:22today they've seen off Motherwell with something approaching ease. Two goals in the opening

00:27half hour, really flying, Motherwell looked out on their feet probably a little bit, you

00:34know, Dexter Treanter's the man of the match, he's absolutely strong yet, maybe make some

00:40changes, throws on some subs, Motherwell get back into it at 2-1, you think woah, you know

00:47six weeks ago they'd have been saying oh hang on a minute, there'd have been a whole nervous

00:50tension sweeping around Easter Road about oh they're back in it, they're going to lose

00:54a goal, they're going to lose a goal, they're going to throw it away. They go up the other

00:58end of the park, Lewis Miller wins the penalty, Wilde scores. A really, really impressive

01:04performance, when you think about the players that are still missing as well, Kieran Bowie's

01:08to come back in his team, Joe Newell's to come back in his team. I'd say that they really

01:17needed to win this one today, that was a weird thing to say, they needed to win this. It's

01:22taken them into the top 6 for the first time this season, that is the minimum, the absolute

01:28minimum of where David Gray and his players think they should be and where the board could

01:34expect them to be. They're there now, the challenge is to keep it up, they move on,

01:38they have a wee Scottish Cup tie here against Clydebank next week and then they're back

01:43in elite business. At the moment, you can hear the fans, hopefully in the background,

01:48cheering away, they thoroughly deserve this.
