'Just one more win' - Passlack eyes fourth-place finish for Hibs

Felix Passlack says Hibernian have put themselves in a great position to finish fourth in the Premiership after snatching a dramatic last-gasp victory over Rangers at Ibrox. Hibs spent much of the game on the back foot after Thelo Aasgaard cancelled out Martin Boyle's early opener for the Edinburgh side. With the clock ticking towards 90 minutes, Passlack teed up Dane Scarlett to prod home the winner and bank a precious three points that sets up a final-day shootout with Motherwell at Easter Road to secure European football next season.

Felix Passlack has declared that Hibernian are "just one win away" from clinching fourth place in the Scottish Premiership after a heart-stopping late victory over Rangers at Ibrox. The dramatic result has set up a winner-takes-all final-day showdown with Motherwell at Easter Road, with European football next season hanging in the balance.

The Edinburgh side struck early through Martin Boyle, but found themselves on the back foot for much of the match after Thelo Aasgaard leveled the score. Just when it seemed Hibs would have to settle for a hard-fought point, Passlack turned provider in the dying moments, setting up Dane Scarlett to poke home a stoppage-time winner that sent the traveling fans into raptures.

"It feels great," said Passlack, reflecting on the comeback. "The first half wasn't good for us. We didn't stick to the plan, especially defensive-wise. But we talked about it at half-time and turned it around. We had three shots on goal and scored twice – it was a great evening for us."

The German full-back, who has been a key figure in Hibs' push up the table, acknowledged the significance of the result. "We've talked about finishing fourth for weeks and months. Now it's on the table – just one win. It sounds easy, but it will be a tough game at home. Hopefully we can get those three points and make it happen."

For Hibs supporters, the prospect of securing European football adds extra spice to what promises to be a thrilling final day. With momentum on their side and the backing of the Easter Road crowd, David Gray's men will be confident of crossing the finish line in style.
