Hibs Women gear up for Easter Road return
Hibernian Women are back in action at Easter Road tonight, we've been speaking with Captain Joelle Murray
Hibernian Women make their return to Easter Road tonight (March 23rd) as they host Partick Thistle in the SWPL 1.
The club set a record for the highest attended league game with the Edinburgh derby last year.
Now more women's teams across Scotland have followed suit with Aberdeen and Celtic opening up Pittodrie and Celtic Park respectively for games this week.
Captain Joelle Murray has spent her entire career with her childhood team.
She told us:
"It's a ground I've grown up attending as a fan since the age of 5.
"Games at Easter Road under the lights always seem a bit more special."
The defender has experienced her fair share of big games and large crowds with both her club and the Scottish national team.
She says she will look to help the younger players deal with the added pressure.
"I've spoke to a lot of the younger players who maybe haven't experienced that.
"Certainly nerves can play a part so having that experience and being able to offer them support and guidance.
"and potentially coping mechanisms to deal with occasions like tonight is very beneficial."
The game kicks off at 7:45 this evening.
