Calderwood challenges Hibs to maintain run
Manager Colin Calderwood has called on his Hibernian squad to extend their four-match winning run, beginning at Hamilton on Tuesday night.
Hibs beat Inverness 2-0 last Saturday to take a 100% record from four games in February - having been without a win in the previous 12 outings - and ease fears of relegation from the Clydesdale Bank Premier League.
But in a congested table Hibs lie 10th, five points behind sixth-placed Caley Thistle, and Calderwood's primary focus is his side distancing themselves from bottom club Hamilton, who are 13 points behind them, with matches at Accies, Motherwell and Celtic in March.
He said: "We've had a nice month, a good run, but we've had the advantage of being at home and now we've got to go and do what we did at St Mirren and graft and earn and deserve points.
"We have to continue to take points; it's about trying to win the next one. If we could take points in the next two games away from home it will certainly ease us away from the bottom of the league and Hamilton.
"That's a starting point for tomorrow night's game - we've got to make sure we don't give them any encouragement because I believe at some point they're going to put a couple of wins together and we've got to make sure we've got enough of a gap to be away from them."
