Hibernian Big stage set for Mcginn

- Stevie Sideburns

Hibernian were fantastic at Celtic Park, and were arguably the better side – and though Celtic started with a weakened first 11, they were still able to call on Griffiths, Sinclair and Roberts from the bench, so nothing should detract from Hibs’ performanc­e.

What probably did help us was their midweek away game in the Champions League and, of course, Celtic should have been awarded a penalty near the end. But a defeat would have been very harsh on the Hibees.

John Mcginn, who will be itching to start tomorrow at Hampden, epitomised Hibs’ attitude against Celtic. He is a player who relishes the big occasion, and the stage could be set for him to make an impact for Scotland.
