THE display of unity and resolve which helped Hibernian salvage a point from Aberdeen last weekend could be the turning point in the Easter Road club's season, according to their assistant manager Donald Park.
Hindered by a rash of errors from a variety of players and without a win since Derek Riordan scored twice at Pittodrie in early October, Park hopes Hibs will head for Motherwell tomorrow believing that a corner has been turned.

"The players all showed great endeavour and that (performance] just epitomised their spirit," he said. "I know results have not been great, but the attitude is first class and we really couldn't ask any more of them in training. Of course we want to cut out the mistakes we've been making, but the application and togetherness couldn't be better.

"I was speaking to Craig Levein (the Dundee United manager] when we were up at Tannadice and we agreed that it just takes something to switch it. For us Rob Jones hadn't scored for a while and he got a goal on Saturday. Hopefully, that might be the switch for us."

After he missed the international against Argentina with an ankle injury, Hibs will have a better idea today if striker Steven Fletcher will be fit to face Motherwell.

I see on the BBC site Park is already preparing Hibees for losing Fletcher in January. Replacing Scottish youngsters with cheap foreign imports from second rate footballing nations (JJ) again - I thought it was only Hearts who did that, not the smug guardians of all that is good and right in football from the east side of town.

I take it Hibs fans will be up in arms about being sold out like this? Protests maybe?

#1 Going public at this time menas that there is a done deal in place and Park, being a jambo, has been given the task of passing on the bad news. Another hammer blow for Hibs fans from Petrie and Farmer.

I was always resigned to Fletch moving on, maybe not to the Spanish giants (!) but down south.

Hopefully he won't be going West, that is a bad, bad move.
