Phone In 26th August

from Longbangers

Hibs are on the brink of a huge European night, and this phone-in captures the nerves, the optimism, and the raw belief around Easter Road before Gent arrive. With a sell-out crowd, fresh signings, and major money on the line, the panel breaks down what this match could mean for David Gray, the squad, and the club’s next step forward.Matty sets the scene as Ian, Jeff, John, Stephen, and Ian Mackay weigh in on everything from the new arrivals to the bigger question hanging over the season: can Hibs finally turn promise into progress when it matters most? The conversation goes deep on Devaney’s role, Colton Swan’s arrival, Alasana Manneh’s departure, and whether the squad has enough depth to survive the pressure of a defining European tie.You’ll hear:why Devaney could be the kind of midfielder Hibs have been missingwhat Colton Swan adds when he arrives in Decemberwhy several panellists think tomorrow night could decide the rest of the transfer windowthe debate over Nathan Lowe, Boyle, Passlack, Megwa, and who should start in such a high-stakes matchwhether Hibs have real depth or just a squad that looks stronger on paper than it playsThere’s also a bigger edge to this one. The panel dig into the shifting attitude toward Scottish clubs in Europe, the financial gap that qualification can open or widen, and why a sold-out Easter Road could be the difference between another near miss and a breakthrough night. Jeff, John, Stephen, and Ian Mackay each bring a distinct read on the stakes, from tactics and selection to mindset, atmosphere, and what Hibs must do to avoid being overwhelmed by the occasion.If you want an honest, passionate, pre-match Hibs discussion with no hiding from the big questions, this is essential listening.
