At Aberdeen last Saturday Tremarco dived close to the goal and headed the ball to safety on the ground whilst his face dived into the turf with an Aberdeen player right beside him ready to pounce.

 

Now that's dedication.

Whether he was falling anyway or not, the fact is that he deliberately placed his head forward to get the ball before his roll  and that was a spectacular bit of defending.

 

 

 

It was that spirit throughout the team that won the game. Until Butcher and Malpass were very much on Hibs radar, the team had developed that approach in every game. Then in St Johnston it deserted them.  As we know it was just after the Hibs AGM when they sack managers and line up the next 'I can do it Rod!'

 

The team have been a bit inconsistent ever since but the manner of the victory has the potential to refocus the targets. Consequentially the Killie game is potentially much harder and whoever plays in it, must adopt the same 'get my body in the line of fire' approach. It is the difference between winners and losers basically.
