gives some fringe players the opportunity to gain competitive match practice. Other
players who may get a run include Yogi Hughes, Alex Marinkov, Stevie Crawford, Stuart
Lovell and Tom Smith who have all struggled to make the first team squad recently. Two
players who definitely won't play are Frank Sauzee, who is injured, and Mixu Paatelainen
who is with the Finland team playing Belgium. The match with Clyde is in the League Cup,
which apparently this year is called the CIS Insurance Cup.
14 August 1999
The first Hibs - Hearts derby of the season finished one all. Russell Latapy opened the

Alex McLeish's men a 4-3 victory over Dundee after a quite extraordinary second half. Read
all about it in the match report.
6 August 1999
Alex McLeish has a problem ahead of the Dundee game but he won't be complaining. He has to
decide who to leave out of the starting line-up. Fabrice Henry has recovered from a knock
he received in the Motherwell game, where he was taken off as a precaution. Pat McGinlay
is also fit again after missing the Motherwell game and with Mixu Paatelainen returning
from suspension, McLeish has almost the entire squad to choose from. Only John Hughes is
unavailable for this match - he is still on the treatment table.
