Scott On Celtic Draw & Upcoming Derby
Grant Scott is excited for Friday (6 September) night's Edinburgh Derby after a "commendable" draw against Celtic.
In his 100th match in charge for Hibernian, Scott's side held last season's champions to a goalless draw at the Albert Bartlett Stadium.
"I said to the players at the end that it’s a great result for us but we won’t be celebrating a 0-0 draw," Scott told Hibs TV following the game.
"We probably had the better opportunities in the game. Celtic had a lot of threats. Their movement is very good and they’re fast on the break.
"Erin (Clachers) has had to sweep up a lot of stuff and she’s done really well. But we had direct opportunities on target.
"It’s a great save in the first half to keep out Abbie before she cut in again, with Hayes clearing off the line.
"I’m delighted with the performance and I thought the players executed their game plan very well. It’s a commendable performance and result.
"We remain unbeaten and didn’t concede in another match, so there’s a lot of positives to take."
Looking ahead to next week's clash at Easter Road, Scott reiterated the spectacle of the Edinburgh Derby.
"Derbies are special, there’s no getting away from it. We’ll do our best to come away from it with a favourable outcome.
"We’ve got a couple days off now and we’ll start our homework preparing for Hearts.
"It’s a special week, we’re playing at Easter Road. It’s a great event and we’ll be ready to go come Friday."
