Le Fondre’s warning
Adam Le Fondre, the returning forward for Hibs, emphasized the importance of finishing the season strongly, acknowledging the improvements made to the squad with the January signings. He stressed the need for a positive end to the season in order to achieve their goals.
On the other hand, Aberdeen boss Neil Warnock expressed confidence in new winger Junior Hoilett, whom he has reunited with after their time together at Cardiff. Warnock mentioned that Hoilett looks sharp and determined, having trained with Reading for the past six weeks. Hoilett’s versatility in playing different positions adds valuable options to the team, particularly given Aberdeen’s current squad situation. Warnock highlighted the challenge of finding quality free transfer players but believes Hoilett’s addition will strengthen the squad.
