Hibernian manager Pat Fenlon hopes that Hibernian can continue their winning ways when they take on Aberdeen at Easter Road tomorrow.
Hibs beat Kilmarnock 1-0 in the Scottish Cup last weekend but are only above Dunfermline on goal-difference in the league.
Fenlon's side are searching for only their second league win at Easter Road in the last year, with a sole victory over St Johnstone their only maximum point haul since February 2011. The Hibs boss hopes to improve on that record when his team faces Aberdeen tomorrow.
Fenlon told Hibernian TV: "We're in a position where we need to scrap and fight for everything that's going.
"Everybody is upbeat at the moment, but it's important to continue that you have to keep working as hard. Last week it was great to get through to the quarter-final of the cup to give everybody a bit of a lift. You're hoping that lift continues.
"It's important we keep making progress and we keep pushing on."
Fenlon also hopes that the cup win over Kilmarnock can act as a catalyst for better times at Easter Road.
He continued: "The place has been for well over a year or longer, it's been a little bit doom or gloom.
"I think it's important the supporters see the light at the end of the tunnel. They've come back and they've started to enjoy their football.
"They've come to Easter Road thinking something could happen today. We've got a team capable of putting in a performance.
"We want to try to turn it back into the place it was previously, where teams didn't like coming to Easter Road, no matter who they were. We want to make it not a nice place to come and play."
The Hibs manager also called on his team to look to tomorrow's opponents as inspiration for how to end the season.
Fenlon added: "Since we played them they've been on a fantastic run. "They've picked up some great results and they're probably a benchmark for us to look at.
"They were three or four points ahead of us and all of a sudden they shot ahead of us. We can take a leaf out of their book and try to push up their table like they have."
