And he is now hoping for a reversal in fortune as Ian McCall's men look to put a run of bad results behind them and book a place in the last four. He said: "During my time at Hibs we always seemed to somehow get good results against United, and that cup tie was one where we had not played particularly well yet managed to scrape a win. "Now I want to help United get their own back for that as obviously we would get a great lift if we could book a place in the semi final - and to beat Hibs on the way there would be even sweeter for me personally. "The United fans could do with a boost, although I have to say despite our poor run of results we remain confident and upbeat in the dressing room. "We know that our performances have been okay, and there is a genuine belief that things will turn round soon - hopefully starting with this one against Hibs." McCall revealed he is reluctant to change his side around too much despite a run of seven games without a win, stretching back to their last cup victory over Clyde. But the Tannadice boss remains confident his side will turn things round, and admitted the prize of a place in the last four, especially with the Old Firm meeting in one of the other quarter-finals, is a real incentive. He said: "I'll certainly be mentioning that fact to my players although I am sure Tony Mowbray Tony Mowbray, (born November 22 1963), is a former professional football player and the manager of West Bromwich Albion.

"There are a few guys here who have been to a final before, as have myself and Gordon Chisholm, and there really is nothing like it. It's a great feeling. So it is a big carrot for us, and I am not going to change things too much because we are playing well but not getting results. "We have drawn one and lost two of our last three games but had things gone slightly differently we could have won all three. "I have a strong belief in my players and I still believe they are the ones who can get the results we are looking for." CAPTION(S): MISSION: Brebner |
