Ivan Sproule has backed Lee Johnson to turn things around at Hibs.
The Easter Road gaffer suffered a slump going into the World Cup shutdown that ended with the capital club dropping from third to eighth in the Scottish Premiership table. A run of six defeats in the last seven games has put some pressure on the management team but former favourite Sproule - who played with the duo at Bristol City for years - says they have the 'character' to get over this difficult period.
He reckons the players need to stand up and be counted for and take responsibility as they look to recapture their best form and aim for the top six and European football. They face a big period on the return to action starting at Ibrox against Rangers - who will have a new manager in the door - followed up by Livingston, Celtic and Hearts.
