Johnson has full belief in his players to do Scotland proud despite the financial gulf between the two sides.
Lee Johnson insists tomorrow’s Battle of Britain is no free hit for Hibs as he urged his players to mark his 500th game as a manager by shocking Aston Villa.
“The reality is the two budgets are probably £180 million apart - at least! So, there’s a gap here that we’re going to have to try to bridge, and we’ll do that by effort, support from the stands, from individual brilliance on the day, and by believing in ourselves, to the point where that [the budget] is the least important factor in a game like this, because it’s 11 me against 11 men.”
“We’re in it, we’re here on merit, we have earned this opportunity and what we don’t want to do is waste it. And every bit of influence that can aid them with that, and now I’m talking about the fanbase, gives us a big hand. I know they will because this is a big, big night for everyone. We’re sold out. This is what we want."We’re playing against top, top players and top, top athletes, and I think that’s the dynamic that means if you switch off you get punished.
“I had been up to the SPFL a couple of times before and not really cracked it. But I loved the atmosphere and environment and the country itself.
