00:00At what point do you think as Hibs fans do you start to get excited about the potential

00:07of third place? Obviously the team itself can't be carried away with it yet and they've

00:13kind of had to go on this run to this point to get to where they are because the start

00:18to the season was so difficult, but now that they are the sort of form team in the country

00:23really, do you begin to believe that that's an actual possibility?

00:29Well definitely, I've already been looking up dates and seeing when my holidays are going

00:34to be taken this year to work in with our conference league games in Europe on the Thursday

00:37nights. I think it has to be a realistic goal now, I think when you look at the way the

00:44league table lies it has to be something, it's not even that, I think the main thing,

00:49for so long Hibs have been a team that in big games you think they're probably not going

00:53to get anything out of, whereas now you look at this top six that Hibs are pretty close

00:58to being in, when you see the table it would be pretty hard to drop out, saying that, games

01:03like St. John's and Dundee's at home, worry me as a Hibs fan, I think they're probably

01:07worried, every Hibs fan, but when you look at the run we've got up until the split, you'd

01:12think we should do enough to get in the top six and once we're in it, the thing is we've

01:16now shown that actually we can compete against Celtic, Rangers, these teams, Dundee, United's

01:21and kind of go toe-to-toe with them and not turn up for these big games, so you've really

01:26got to think third is a possibility, it was interesting, I think it was on the TV pundits

01:31the other day when I was listening to Premier Sports and the line was, somebody has to finish

01:35third and it does feel a wee bit like that, I could see it maybe being a bit of a slog

01:38to be honest, but someone has to finish third and I don't see why it can't be Hibs.

01:43No, I think you would need to bat him at the minute because I think from the Dundee United

01:47game probably in midweek, if that's kind of one of your main competitors, I suppose the

01:55thing you would need to ask is, what is it Hibs have got at the minute that other teams

01:59outside of the consistency factor in winning games obviously, what have they got that's

02:04putting them in that run that other teams and not just other teams, pretty much everybody

02:08in the league outside of Celtic, they have been unable to get this kind of run.
