Lee Johnson believes his Hibs side have lots of potential - but they've got a 'soft underbelly'.
The capital club went down to a huge 4-1 loss to Aberdeen under the lights at Pittodrie as both clubs eye up third spot in the Premiership behind Celtic and Rangers and a place in Europe next season. Hearts benefitted from European group stage football this campaign and while Robbie Neilson will be fully focussed on achieving that feat one again, a number of clubs include the Hibees hold the same aspirations.
However, Jim Goodwin's men put down a marker in the last meeting with Johnson admitting the result should hurt his group and the individuals who made errors. He believes the issues are not physical but sometimes psychological. The defeat means Hibs drop to fifth behind Hearts - who have a game in hand - and Aberdeen in the table. They face Ross County and Kilmarnock before the World Cup break with a big six points the target.
