Martin Boyle set up the winner against Dunfermline
HIBERNIAN winger Martin Boyle believes competition for places can drive them on this season after he came off the bench to set up the winner against Dunfermline.
Boyle was on the bench for the third time in eight days but made a major contribution as his 78th-minute cutback was converted by Jason Cummings.
That sealed a 2-1 win after Dunfermline’s on-loan Hearts striker Gavin Reilly had earlier cancelled out a Ben Richards-Everton own goal and made it six points from two games for Hibs in the Ladbrokes Championship.
Boyle told Hibs TV: “I am thrilled about setting up a goal but it is all about us working hard.
“You have got to work hard and when you get that jersey you have got to keep it because there is competition.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
