Hibs welcomed their mystery sniper into the building yesterday - and assistant boss Adam Owen hopes the marksman can help get their Easter Road hitmen firing under pressure.
The serving sharpshooter - whose identity was being kept secret by club officials - was brought in by Lee Johnson to give his players a motivational pep talk. And while the manager himself remains 50/50 to make a return from surgery for Saturday’s trip to face Dundee United, his number two Owen reckons the appearance of the rifleman will ensure there’s no slacking.
Owen said: “It was a bit different! The manager is always trying to get players thinking in different ways and challenging them.It was really good in terms of showing the different sorts of pressures - similar pressures to some extent, although life and death is a little bit different. But there were some really good examples of dealing with pressure, stress, anxiety.
