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.<\/p>\n

“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. <\/p>\n

“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.<\/p>\n

“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.<\/p>\n

“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.<\/p>\n

“At the same time, you just can’t expect to turn up and win anywhere, at any level. <\/p>\n

“The talking’s done now. It’s very much about making sure that’s then translated onto the pitch tonight.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"‘Our performance needs to be miles better’ – Graypublished at 19:59 BST 19:59 BST Hibernian v Malisheva (20:00)…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":111210,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[61,60,112],"class_list":["post-575946","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/575946","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=575946"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/575946\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/111210"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=575946"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=575946"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=575946"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
