'Hurt' Hibs deliver derby 'reaction'

Poppy Lawson insists Hibs' derby "reaction" gives them belief as they look to beat Glasgow City in the league for the first time in 17 years.

Grant Scott's side thumped Queen's Park 6-1 at Meadowbank on Sunday to bounce back from the disappointing 4-0 derby defeat by Hearts.

Lawson made her long-awaited return to the starting line-up and got herself on the scoresheet, with a trip to Petershill Park next up this weekend.

"I think it was all about getting minutes in my legs," the defender told club media.

"Three points and up the road but I think it wasn't our best performance but we're happy with the points.

"Last week hurt, this week was about a reaction. We probably didn't get the reaction in the performance but we did in the result and we'll take confidence going into City next week."
