Nick Montgomery has been speaking to the media as Hibs prepare to face Aberdeen in the League Cup semi-finals this weekend.
Here are the key points from the Hibs boss:
Allan Delferriere is doing okay after suffering racial abuse online after the midweek draw with Ross County. The team are rallying round him and Montgomery says the defender is a resilient guy.
The players are excited for a huge occasion at Hampden.
Montgomery is expecting a tough challenge against Aberdeen who can be "direct and physical".
His only personal experience of Hampden was attending the recent Scotland v England game.
Hibs need to get better at managing games and turning draws into wins. He feels they aren’t far away from being a good team.
No fresh injury worries. Players who were rested with niggles midweek are all in contention.
