Reedijk was unbeatable in Belgium … but losing is becoming a bad habit at Hibs and tough week could even take new boss into Wilfried Nancy territory

Hibernian manager Marink Reedijk faces a crucial three-game stretch after beginning his tenure with consecutive defeats. Following a 1-0 loss at Dundee United and a 2-1 home defeat to Falkirk, Hibs have dropped to the bottom of the Scottish Premiership table. The Daily Mail notes that losing his next three matches against Celtic, St Mirren, and Hearts would leave the 35-year-old Dutchman facing five straight opening defeats.

Reedijk took over after an unbeaten league season at Belgian side SK Beveren, replacing David Gray. Despite initial struggles with tactical changes and injuries, executive chairman Ian Gordon and sporting director Malky Mackay are expected to back the new head coach ahead of next week's Premier Sports Cup semi-final at Hampden.
