Old team mates will sit next to each other in their respective dugouts when Hibs meet Dundee United tonight at Easter Road. United boss Peter Houston is a former team-mate of John Hughes from their Falkirk days and is a huge admirer of the way his sets his teams to play. Houston believes Hibs have overcome their recent slump in perfect time to rekindle their challenge for third place. The Easter Road side were looking strong contenders for the prime European slot until they hit a sticky period which included losses to St Johnstone, Hearts, Motherwell and then Ross County in the Scottish Cup. But they bounced back in style against Falkirk last weekend and Houston believes they are gearing back to top form just in time for the encounter with United. The Tangerines enjoy a two-point advantage over Hibs and are looking to extend that further. |
