Aberdeen 1-7 Hibernian: What the managers said

- Published
Aberdeen head coach Scott Booth: "I thought in the first half we competed really well with a really good side and made it difficult for them. We nullified their real threat in wide areas.
"Energy was high and so getting the first goal was great for us but I felt like in the second half, we sort of hit a wall fitness wise and then Hibs exploited that really well.
"We need to make sure we keep the ball better, we'll be working on that. We need to keep the ball for longer, we gave it away quite easily at times which made it simple for Hibs."
Hibernian head coach Grant Scott: "We got our rewards in the end. I thought we were really untidy in the first half and disappointed with the goal we lost for sure but we rectified a few things thereafter and got ourselves back in it and the strength of the group saw it over the line in the end.
"At half-time I felt we hadn't been anywhere near our performances levels in the first half.
"It's good to come away from home, on a long journey, getting a number of goals with different goalscorers."
