Hibernian head coach David Gray tells BBC Scotland: “They were clinical [in the first leg] when they needed to be. They were aggressive. They were everything we thought they would be first leg. I still expect it again tonight.

“We need to take advantage of the fact that we’re back at home. Our level of performance obviously needs to be miles better, but we know that.

“Get a lead and get the next goal in the game. That changes everything. The momentum in the stadium. We’ve all seen momentum in games of football and what that can do.

“Some of the best nights I’ve been involved in have been here at Easter Road in European nights and that’s what we’re looking for again tonight.

“All you can ask is for that reaction. I have seen it in training. I think the players were hurt after the game and rightly so because nobody enjoys losing games of football, especially in that manner.

“At the same time, you just can’t expect to turn up and win anywhere, at any level.

“The talking’s done now. It’s very much about making sure that’s then translated onto the pitch tonight.”
