Hibs eager to 'kickstart home form'

David Gray aims to "kickstart" Hibernian's home form by adding to Dundee's woes on Saturday.

Hibs have just one league victory in five at Easter Road this season and suffered a first Premiership home loss in 11 months when Rangers prevailed 1-0.

Gray's men opened the season with a 2-1 win at Dundee, who are now second bottom having lost three in a row.

"I think both sides are in different places," Gray said.

"We are looking at it as an opportunity to kickstart our home form. We want to start picking up three points at home off the back of a couple of good results recently.

"We want to try and get more points than we had in the first round so that's the challenge for the players. It'll be a difficult game but one the players should be feeling good about.

"To have successful seasons domestically your home form needs to be strong. This season we've maybe not had the points return we'd want but we've not been losing games. The challenge now is to make sure we have really strong home form."

Gray is hoping to have Dylan Levitt back in contention while there are a few injury concerns.

"Dylan Levitt is back training," he added.

"Miguel Chaiwa picked up a virus or food poisoning so he will probably be out. Josh Campbell got an infection in the toe so he's a doubt."
