AT OUR WITS' END

Fed-up Marvin floored by side's late mistakes

- DARREN JOHNSTONE

MARVIN EKPITETA admits Hibs' late goal horror show is giving the opposition ammunition - and leaving the players deflated.

The Leith side again failed to see out a winning position after conceding a 90th-minute equaliser when Sam Dalby tucked away a controversial penalty for Dundee United on Sunday.

Hibs have now conceded nine goals in the last 15 minutes across their 11 Premiership games so far including two injury-time efforts in the recent 3-2 defeat at Tannadice.

And centre-back Ekpiteta admits they need to nip that woeful record in the bud quickly after being left at the basement.

He said: "It's happening too often. It's becoming a recurring thing. I don't know what to say anymore, to be honest.

"It doesn't play on my mind personally because I know if I did dwell on that, it will affect my game towards the end.

"So, I'm just trying to think of it as a new game. It's a fresh game, we can do it, we can see the game out.
