Lee Johnson has vowed that Hibs will head to Tynecastle with no fear after claiming a derby victory could transform their stuttering season.
The Leith side make the short trip across Edinburgh on Monday short of confidence and form on the back of a woeful run of eight defeats from 10 Premiership outings. The latest set-back was a 4-0 thrashing at the hands of Celtic.
Amid mounting criticism from supporters, Hibs - without a derby victory in seven games - are now also five points adrift of their fierce city rivals, who are sitting third. But Johnson regards the clash as the ideal opportunity to lift the club’s and the fans’ spirits following a testing period.
