Could open game suit Aberdeen at Easter Road?

Jack Milne believes an "open game" away to a Hibernian side buoyed by Saturday's Edinburgh derby victory will suit Aberdeen.

The Dons were frustrated by a 1-1 draw against a well-organised Dundee United at Pittodrie at the weekend and have often struggled to break down stuffy opponents at home this term.

But, having notched four victories in their past five away games in the league, Aberdeen are relishing Tuesday's trip to fifth-placed Hibs, who are three points above them in the table

"They'll be buzzing," defender Milne said of Hibs. "We know that and we'll be ready for anything. It will probably be a more open game.

"They'll come after us and we'll go after them, which I think will suit us a wee bit more. I'm looking forward to it."
