Lee Johnson earns Hibs compassion from within dressing room as don't panic message sent

Lewis Stevenson has seen it all during his incredible 17 years as a Hibs first team player.

But don’t think for a minute that losing five games out of six isn’t hurting the 34-year-old. One look at the left back’s haunted featured at the end of Tuesday’s 2-0 home defeat to Ross County told its own story. He has been on the wrong end of plenty of scorelines in the past, but it was the manner of this one that stung.

Lee Johnson’s men were shocking and were booed off the pitch by a disgruntled support who were short-changed and with a trip to Rugby Park looming before the World Cup break, Stevenson knows there has to be a response. He also knows the last thing the Hibs players and staff must do is panic. Such is the cut-throat nature of the Premiership that Hibs remain in the fight for third place despite this horror run of results and all is not lost.
