Hibs midfielder Nathan Moriah-Welsh says gaffer David Gray laying down the law was the “kick up the arse” needed by players after a horrific run of results. But he believes the home side are ready to claim a portion of “redemption” by beating Dundee at Easter Road tomorrow afternoon.
In the wake of Sunday’s 3-1 Premier Sports Cup loss at Celtic Park, a third straight defeat for a Hibs side now out of the competition and without a single Scottish Premiership point, Although he fans will still expect at least a couple of changes for the visit of the Dark Blues.And Moriah-Welsh, substituted at half-time last weekend, said just hearing the new boss issue warnings about selection had been a necessary shock to the system, the Guyana international admitting: “Yeah, of course he was a bit frustrated. But I think we needed that little kick up the arse just to get us going again. Now we’ve got a shot at redemption on Saturday.
There is no need to panic at all, we’re all calm. It’s not just the gaffer it’s all the lads, we’re like: ‘Keep calm. It’s two weeks into the season, there is no reason for alarm bells.’ There are going to be changes but if we can cut out the mistakes we’ll be in a much better place.”
With on-loan Celtic midfielder Hyeokkyu Kwon available for selection, competition for places in the middle of the park is only likely to intensify, Moriah-Welsh admitting: “Last year, there were times when it looked as if we didn’t have enough competition. So it’s good that we’re all fighting for places, because we’re fighting for three points on a Saturday.
