The CIS Cup ....



.... continues in Scotland tonight. Hibernian finally got off the SPL mark at the weekend with a comfortable 3-1 win over Motherwell, the two new signings, Zemmama and Martis, proving instant hits with the Easter Road faithful.


Hibs have named a very strong squad tonight for the visit of Division 2 side Peterhead and are keen to keep the momentum going, the starting 11 will be chosen from ....Malkowski, Whittaker, Martis, Jones, Murphy, Scott Brown, Stewart, Shiels, Zemmama, Glass, Thomson, Fletcher, Sproule, Benjelloun, McNeil, Konte, Shields and Konde.


Peterhead have made a poor start to the season and in 5 starts, are yet to win a game inside 90 minutes and were eliminated from the Challenge Cup by poor Division 3 side, Montrose . They lost 1-0 at home to Raith on Saturday and were lucky to score nil, OK, that is a bit unfair, but the visitors dominated and had 3 goals disallowed !

Hibs should have far too many options for The Blue Toon, who are also likely to be without 3 regulars, the odds are very low, but they should cover the handicap.

4 points Hibernian -1.75 goals asian line 1.76. Back soon.

Good Luck.
