For crunch

BY LINDSAY HERRON TOM TAIWO reckons Hamilton can add to Hibs’ recent misery as they go in search of vital points in their battle to beat the drop.

Hibs haven’t won in seven matches but their last win was a 6-0 hammering of Hamilton on October 7.

Former Easter Road favourite Taiwo said: “Hibs have got dangerous players and they need the result too.

“I’m sure Neil Lennon will have them fired up but our need for points is even stronger than Hibs’.

“Dundee and St Mirren are closer to us but we know if we work hard we can get the results we need.

“We need to get back on the horse after a really disappointing defeat last Wednesday at Dundee.

“But we’re confident because we know when we play at our best we can give most teams a game.”

Dundee stuck four past Hamilton last Wednesday and Accies boss Martin Canning said: “I didn’t see the Dundee result coming after we had done so well in the previous match against St Mirren.

“A lot of things went against us at Dens but it wasn’t good enough and we shouldn’t have lost in the manner that we did.

“We need to get a reaction and I think we will.”
