Fenlon warns Hibs players Manager Pat Fenlon insists Scottish Cup finalists Hibernian are "nowhere near safe" from relegation from the Clydesdale Bank Premier League. Fenlon is within 90 minutes of ending Hibs' 110-year wait for Scottish Cup glory, but knows Sunday's match with Kilmarnock could prove to be a key moment in their season as they seek to survive at the expense of Dunfermline. "The focus is about survival and we're nowhere near safe at the moment," Fenlon said. "The mind should be focused on what the job is. We're second last in the league. It doesn't need much more than that at the moment. "We've played Kilmarnock a few times since I've been here and the games have been really, really tight. "One of them we were lucky enough to win, the others we did okay in." Hibs beat Killie in the William Hill Scottish Cup fifth round in February, one of just two home wins this term, and at Rugby Park in the SPL in the same month. The September defeat of St Johnstone is the only SPL triumph at Easter Road this term and Fenlon is eager for success in the two home matches remaining - Sunday's and the May 7 meeting with the Pars which could have a bearing on relegation. "As a group we want to improve our record at home for the remainder of the season, which is only two games, and for next season," he added. "It's important we approach the game in the right manner. "The last time we played Kilmarnock away we did quite well against them (winning 3-1). "We've got to approach it similarly this time." Hibs are set to finish the season without goalkeeper Graham Stack, who tore a thigh muscle against Aberdeen in last week's semi-final win. Former Celtic and Rangers goalkeeper Mark Brown came off the bench and is set to start against Killie. Tom Soares (Achilles) is a doubt but his fellow midfielder Lewis Stevenson is available again after missing Hampden trip through suspension. Kilmarnock midfielder Dean Shiels faces his former club at Easter Road but he admits he might revert to being a Hibernian fan next month. Shiels, still a popular figure among the Hibs support, was delighted to see the Leith club beat Aberdeen to set up their Scottish Cup final against Hearts. The Northern Ireland international, who played for Hibs from 2004-9, said: "I might go to the game. It would be great to see Hibs win it. "Being at the club, I know how much it means to the fans. The Scottish Cup every year was all about another chance to win the cup because it has been so long. "So it would be great for the fans and I've still got a lot of friends there, Ivan Sproule, Ian Murray, people like that. It would be great for the whole club to win it." Hibs have not won the trophy since 1902 and have not beaten their Edinburgh rivals in 10 games, losing seven out of the last eight derbies. But Shiels said: "We play them on Sunday so I don't want to give them confidence but I think they've got a great chance. "We have watched a bit of their video and they looked as if they played very well against Aberdeen in the semis last weekend. "They have got a lot of quality still. Although they are down around the bottom, they have still got the quality to win on the day." Killie manager Kenny Shiels, who is without injured strikers Paul Heffernan (groin) and Dieter van Tornhout (hip/hamstring), along with midfielder Garry Hay (knee), expects a tough afternoon against Fenlon's side. "If you look at the way they invested in the window, their chairman has backed the new manager," he said. "He has got players who are huge investments, from the Premier League in England. That's why they are doing well. "I'm not surprised they are doing well, they have one of the best squads of players in the league. "I was in for a few of their players and they were way out of our budget. "It's an example of someone investing in something, getting them out of relegation and getting them to a cup final."
