Alan Stubbs: 'Hibernian focussed on securing playoff place'

Alan Stubbs has insisted that Hibernian are focussing on securing a Scottish Championship playoff place ahead of their match against Rangers on Sunday.

Hibernian currently sit in second in the table, six points above the Gers, but have given up hopes of clawing back Hearts's 23-point lead at the top.

"All my attention and focus is purely on just what we're going to do," Stubbs told The Scotsman. "We know that if we can keep winning games of football then we will have it in our own hands.

"Our target was to finish in the playoffs. I want to get that secured first and then see where the rest of the season takes us. The most important thing is that, at this stage of the season, we are where we want to be."

Edinburgh rivals Hearts will be crowned as champions if Hibs fail to win tomorrow.
