Marijan Cabraja insists Hibs are good enough to go the distance in the race for third despite suffering three defeats on the spin and slipping to fifth.
The Croatian admits Friday’s 2-1 submission to St Johnstone was more painful than their 6-1 Parkhead pummelling against Celtic a week earlier. But Cabraja is adamant Lee Johnson’s side have the quality to finish best of the rest come the end of the season - especially when injured stars including Kevin Nisbet and Aiden McGeady return.
Hibs were coasting towards three points when a 70th minute red card for Kyle Magennis opened the door for a Saints smash and grab.The Perth side didn’t need asked twice and left Leith with all three points thanks to headed goals from Nicky Clark and Stevie May. But summer signing Cabraja said: “It's painful, it's really painful. This type of game is more painful to lose than the last game.
