    Hibernian 1-0 Malisheva (1-2)

    A nice wee spin from Martin Boyle to make room for a cross but he thrashes the ball in and the cross is too strong for any of his Hibs mates to get a touch.

    HB have not lost at home in 10 years of European football. Motherwell have shown flair, determination and more importantly goals to see them through to the next round. Young players have been given game time and hopefully with a couple of additions to the squad it should see Motherwell repeat the success of last season to further enhance their position in the top echelons of the Scottish Premiership. A great effort tonight. Long may it continue.

    Fantastic from Hibs. They kept it alive, it's a lovely reverse pass into Elding.

    A great start for Hibs. It's been coming.

    Hibernian 0-0 Malisheva (0-2)

    Malisheva survive that flurry of corners and now they venture into home territory for the first time this evening.

    The visitors get everyone up for a free-kick but the delivery sails into the arms of Hibs goalkeeper Raphael Sallinger.

    The pace has been relentless from Hibs in the opening ten minutes and they fully deserve to be in front. Another goal soon and the Kosovans could crumble!

    If there wasn't already pressure enough, there's more coming from the fanbase.

    Hibs have to start on the front foot and create chances. They didn't do that last week.

    If Hibs perform to the levels they did at times last season, they should get the job done.

    Hibernian head coach David Gray tells BBC Scotland: "They were clinical [in the first leg] when they needed to be. They were aggressive. They were everything we thought they would be first leg. I still expect it again tonight.

    "We need to take advantage of the fact that we're back at home. Our level of performance obviously needs to be miles better, but we know that.

    "Get a lead and get the next goal in the game. That changes everything. The momentum in the stadium. We've all seen momentum in games of football and what that can do.

    "Some of the best nights I've been involved in have been here at Easter Road in European nights and that's what we're looking for again tonight.

    "All you can ask is for that reaction. I have seen it in training. I think the players were hurt after the game and rightly so because nobody enjoys losing games of football, especially in that manner.

    "At the same time, you just can't expect to turn up and win anywhere, at any level.

    "The talking's done now. It's very much about making sure that's then translated onto the pitch tonight.”

    It looks like David Gray is sticking with a 3-4-2-1 formation, which was a bit of a mess in Pristina.

    Surely Hibs will improve in front of their own fans at Easter Road.

    In what was just Malisheva's fourth European match, they caused a huge upset.

    Kreshnik Uka scored after 20 minutes and Valmir Nafiu added another from a breakaway in the dying embers. The Hibs defending for both goals was dreadful and in keeping with an overall display riddled with errors and hesitancy.

    Owen Elding had a header cleared off the line when it was 0-0 and Nathan Lowe shot wide with a great chance, having clipped the outside of the post earlier.

    Hibs' 2-0 loss last week against Malisheva came as a shock to the system but the positive aspect is they have a chance to redeem themselves this evening.

    This is only the third time Malisheva have participated in European competition and their victory over Albanian side Vllaznia in the previous qualifying round was the first time they have reached this stage.

    Hibs have surprisingly lost their last four home matches in Europe but in fairness the opposition was much stronger than this evening's opponents.

    A quick start with an early goal would be perfect and give the fans something to cheer about as they hope to continue with their European adventures this season.

    FT: HB 0-3 Motherwell (0-5)

    Motherwell boss Alfred Johansson can be very pleased with his team.

    They have been clinical in front of goal and, for a side with a raft of new faces, there are lots of positive signs that relationships are building on the park.

    Early days, but a 5-0 aggregate win is handy way for Johansson to get his feet under the table.
