Pundit Michael Stewart expressed concerns regarding Hibernian's slow start under new manager Marink Reedijk, highlighting their 2-1 home defeat to Falkirk as the most alarming result. Reedijk replaced David Gray but has lost his first three matches in charge, leaving Hibs bottom of the Scottish Premiership table after defeats to Dundee United, Falkirk, and Celtic.

Speaking on Premier Sports' Scottish Football Social Club podcast, Stewart argued that Falkirk completely out-thought Hibs after figuring out their tactical approach.
