Former Hibs hitman Mickael Antoine-Curier has today vowed revenge on Hibs manager Mixu Paatelainen.

The 25-year-old French striker was released by Paatelainen at the end of last season, after a poor spell in a Hibs shirt.

Ex Hibs boss John Collins signed Curier on transfer deadline day last summer from Norwegian side FK Haugesund, after he scored four goals in a pre-season friendly with Livingston, as the Hibees geared up for the new season.

He managed 4 goals in 12 games in his time at Easter Road.

He was sent out on loan to Dundee by Paatelainen and he spent a productive time on Tayside, he scored 9 goals in 15 games in the Dark Blue at Dens.

Curier, who scored for
Dundee against Ross County on the first day of the First Division season on Saturday in a 2-1 win, has vowed to make Mixu pay for his snub.

The
Dundee player said:

"I am still so disappointed with the way I was treated by the manager at Hibs. John Collins brought me to the club and I was very happy and then things turned upside down when Mixu came.

"I just can't wait to get back to Easter Road, wearing the colours of
Dundee and prove him wrong. That is my great incentive this year."

Maybe he should just concentrate on getting
Dundee out of the lower leagues before he let's his mouth run.

Curier just wasn't good enough for the SPL, he was one of John Collins many panic signings last summer and has probabley found his level in division one.
