Hibs players fully focused on Europa League Qualifier
The Hibs players are now fully focused on Thursday's Europa League Qualifier versus FC Midtjylland following Saturday's final pre-season match says Chris Cadden.
The wing-back understands improvements must be made from the performance, but insists the team are now looking forward to our upcoming European clash.
'It was a tough test for us, as we knew it would be. It's good to get the final game out of the way.
'We know we need to improve, the gaffer's highlighted that as well. But all in all, it's been a good pre-season, so we'll be ready to go on Thursday.
'There's a lot of improvement to do, we know that ourselves, but we're full steam ahead for Thursday, which is the most important thing.'
Speaking to HibsTV, Cadden reflected further on pre-season: 'I think we've played good quality opposition in pre-season. There's been no easy games, it's been tough right from the start.
'Bolton was no different, they were a tough, physical side. It's good to test ourselves, because Midtjylland on Thursday, they'll be a good team as well. There's a lot to improve on, a lot to get better at, we know that.
The match also served as a richly-deserved Testimonial Match for Hibs stalwart Darren McGregor.
Cadden, who played alongside McGregor at Hibernian, was delighted to see the reception Daz received at Easter Road while celebrating the day with his family.
'It's brilliant. He deserves every bit of it. Everybody who comes to Hibs knows Daz, knows his story, how well he's done to get to the level he got.
'A really good player, what a leader as well. But most importantly, the person, really great. Great to have in the dressing room, a real leader of men. What you see is what you get with Big Daz.
'It's nothing short of what he deserves. It's great that the cCub's done that for him and it's fully deserved for Big Daz. I hope he had a great day with his family as well.'
