Because the team which plays next Thursday will be picked off the back of the performance against United.

He's delighted to have taken part in such a historic night, but he knows he's still a young boy who has to build up his whole game and level of fitness,

As I've said to him, it's not about one game - he's got to be a threat every time he plays. He has to build a career for himself.

[Mowbray is a great football thinker but he does ask a lot of his players to remain on his wavelength.] I sat and watched Sven-Göran Eriksson getting grilled about formations after the Northern Ireland game, ... I said to my team before kick-off that playing a lone striker at home against Dundee United could lead to criticism and if we didn't win I could be sitting on a sofa like Sven next week.

If he is to last 90 minutes he must learn when to run, when to pass and when to hold the ball. It's been a fairytale two weeks for him and it is up to me to keep his feet on the ground.

Here we had a lot of young players who myself and Mark [Venus] could put our thoughts across to and they have taken them on board,

I don't take anything out of it personally because as a coach I know what will happen if we lose the next couple of games.

I have to say I am a bit surprised at how quickly Gary has returned but that is all credit to him. He has shown a determination from day one to get himself back, that was evident when I went to see him in hospital the night he suffered his injury. I've already said that everyone in the squad will likely participate at some stage over the next three or four weeks, I'm pretty sure of that, so to have another body available certainly does help us.

I am surprised by how quickly he has come back,

You would probably be surprised what the ambitions were, having seen them play and seen the first few training sessions,

[The manager is hopeful of a performance tonight of which the Hibs players who embarked upon that run to the semi-finals of the European Cup 50 years ago would approve.] You still see some of that team around the stadium on match days and they are all perfect gentlemen, ... Those are the guys who laid the foundations for Hibs being an entertaining, open, passing football team, which is something I try to follow today. It's thanks to those guys that we can try and humbly follow in their footsteps.

I liken the second leg to playing the Old Firm really, ... We've had good results in Glasgow the last couple of times we've been there.

The day Ivan does start, it will be interesting to see if he lasts 90 minutes or if I'm bringing him off after an hour because I feel he is blowing hard,

Yes, we've got a few Scotland internationals who play regularly but their last game was still in front of just 1,500 people, ... So, OK, you're playing international football against decent players but European football is about the night, the occasion, the passion, the noise, the expectation, the knotted stomach before the game, so that's the experience you need, not necessarily just playing in front of 1,500 in an under-21 game.

Last season Dnipro won their group against teams like [Real] Zaragoza, [Club] Brugge [KV] and [FC] Utrecht and therein lies the task for us. They have a squad packed with Ukrainian internationals who romped away with a [FIFA] World Cup qualifying group that included Denmark, who humbled England recently, and Greece who won the [2004 UEFA] European Championship. So we are under no illusions that it's going to be a tough game.
