Abbie Ferguson has had an excellent start to the season and almost sets Hibs up for the opener.

She finds Kathleen McGovern in the box who tries to cut it back to a teammate but to no avail.

Monica Forsyth breaks down the right and floats one into the middle but there's no one in maroon waiting for the pass.

They do manage to win possession back and Lisa Robertson launches an effort goalwards but it can only float out for a goal kick.

It's off and so are we!

Slight delay to proceedings at Oriam, one sprinkler has gone rogue and won't turn off!

Here we go!

Aberdeen captain Hannah Stewart is also expecting a reaction from her side.

"We are hurt, we all let ourselves down on Sunday," she said.

"However, it is only the first game of the season, and there is a long way to go.

"We need to put it behind us and move on quick, but we also need to learn from it.

“Every game is a chance to get points on the board. We are excited to show a reaction.

"Hibs are a good team, they always are. They are tough to beat. We have put in a lot of work this week, so I think we are ready.”

Hibs boss Grant Scott is expecting to see a reaction from Aberdeen this afternoon after their 11-0 defeat by Rangers last weekend.

Scott's side edged out Partick Thistle in a 2-1 victory and is expecting a similarly tough contest against the Dons.

"I think we’ve got to guard against that," Scott said.

"We can’t expect no reaction, we’d be doing them a real disservice if we thought that.

"We all know how much of a quality side Rangers are, they’re capable of doing that to many teams so it’s a totally different game for us.

"We just have to take it as it comes and expect a reaction."
