Calderwood wants Hibernian momentum

12 November 2010 10:00

Manager Colin Calderwood hopes Hibernian will carry the momentum from their victory over Rangers into Saturday's Clydesdale Bank Premier League clash with Motherwell.

Calderwood secured his first points as Hibs boss on Wednesday night with a 3-0 victory over league leaders Rangers, four days after suffering a 2-0 defeat at home to Hearts in the Edinburgh derby - his third loss in three games in charge.

He said: "It could round off a half decent week that started poorly, got better and we don't want that to be the ultimate that we achieve this week. We want to go and get a home victory and another polished performance."

Calderwood will meet a familiar face in the opposite dugout, his former Scotland boss Craig Brown.

The 45-year-old former central defender made his Scotland debut under Brown before playing in the 1996 European Championships and 1998 World Cup.

Bar exchanging a few text messages, the duo have not been in touch since Calderwood succeeded John Hughes as manager at Hibs last month, but will renew acquaintances on Saturday.

"It's the one time I can't say I don't know the opposition manager - I'll have to answer that question this week," said Calderwood, who will meet with Brown after the game.

"I'll give him a cup of tea, hopefully tap him on the head and send him home unhappy."
