Lee Johnson insists qualifying for Europe and making the group stages is what a successful season looks like for Hibs, and believes they can make it happen.
The Easter Road boss has seen the pressure ease on him just weeks after going head-to-head with Jim Goodwn in what was dubbed “El Sackico.” Johnson came out on top, guiding the Hibees to a 6-0 drubbing of Aberdeen, a result that saw Goodwin dismissed just 19 minutes after the full-time whistle had blown.
Now Johnson is looking up the table at the European spots. City rivals Hearts will be tough to catch in third, but fourth place is still doable for Hibs, who are just a point behind Livingston. The Lions have a game in hand on the Leith outfit who are far from home and hosed in terms of a top six finish, but Johnson is targeting fourth, whilst keeping an eye on the Scottish Cup to see if fifth would allow his men to sneak into the Europa Conference League.
