Hibs striker Colin Nish has today revealed how embarrassed he was after the Hibees shocking collapse at Motherwell on Wednesday night.

The Hibees were leading 6-2, away from home, with just 25 minutes remaining, a result that would have seen them all but guarantee European football next season.

Motherwell came storming back, and secured a stunning 6-6 draw, the biggest score line in SPL history, and Nish has revealed his disappointment at what happened.

The 29-year-old, who grabbed a first half hat-trick, said:

"I'm gutted, I just cannot believe we have put ourselves in this situation but it is our fault, we are the ones on the park and we are to blame.

"The fact we were 6-2 up and had to settle for a point makes it feel more like a defeat than a draw. It was unbelievable we didn't manage to take all three points.

"As professional players, playing in the top league in Scotland, 6-2 up with so much riding on the game and not to come away with a victory, leaves you feeling embarrassed."
