Jamie McGrath says Hibs "fancy their chances" of overcoming Midtjylland at Easter Road after being disappointed to only draw in Denmark.The midfielder's debut goal set the tone for an impressive performance for David Gray's side, who are looking to finish the job next Thursday and secure a place in the Europa League third qualifying round against Fredrikstad of Norway."Overall we are disappointed not to win the game," McGrath told BBC Scotland. "It was a moment of magic to be fair [for Midtjylland's goal] but I don't think they cut us open from a defensive point of view."Going the other way I think we could be a bit better. We missed a few passes we really could have hurt them with, but the goal was to keep the tie alive for next week and we are in a good position."It's a tough place to come. They are a Champions League team but we missed some really good opportunities on the transition which maybe on another night we can score one or two more."They are obviously favourites for the tie but what we saw on Thursday night we will get at Easter Road as well. We will be looking to fancy our chances at Easter Road as well."With the Easter Road crowd, the place will be absolutely buzzing so I am looking forward to being part of that next week."
