Hibernian manager Colin Calderwood will spend this week reminding his players of their collective responsibilities following a disappointing first match in charge.

Hibs found themselves four goals down before rallying for a 4-2 defeat at Aberdeen as Calderwood began his Clydesdale Bank Premier League managerial career on Saturday. The Edinburgh side have an equally difficult task this Saturday when they visit Scottish Cup holders Dundee United and Calderwood is looking for higher standards.

Calderwood told Hibernian TV: "There is plenty that we can work on. The real telling times happen in games when you see the costly mistakes and identify the things you need to work on during the week."

He adeed: "Saturday's match was a poor first impression and a poor result for us, and that is a disappointing aspect.

"You want to be able to build on the situation of being a new manager and being fresh, but unfortunately it didn't happen for us.

"We will build ourselves as a team, which I feel we have done this week, and make sure we've got a better understanding of our own personal responsibilities."
