Stuart Kettlewell admits Hibs are huge favourites to beat Motherwell in Edinburgh on Saturday, but says there's no reason why they can't upset the odds.

Kettlewell admits there was frustration the last time the Steelmen visited Easter Road in October, with a Ryan Porteous goal enough to earn the hosts a 1-0 win, after Motherwell striker Connor Shields had been sent off.

But Motherwell have since changed their manager, with Kettlewell stepping in to replace Stevie Hammell, while Hibs have significantly changed their squad.

Kettlewell, who was lead development coach at the time of that defeat in the capital, says it's firmly in the past. He said: "Our group is completely different, it’s a different manager.
