Aberdeen manager Craig Brown does not envy a Dundee United side who face the prospect of a gruelling four games in nine days.
United will face the Dons, Hamilton and Hearts in the Clydesdale Bank Premier League, as well as a Scottish Cup tie against Motherwell, in just over a week.
Brown said: "They have four games in something like eight days. Unfortunately for us, we're the first of them."
He added: "The team getting them in the last game is obviously going to get a leg-weary Dundee United.
"But sometimes players, without training and just playing games, respond to that so there is a possibility that Dundee United could do well in the four games.
"But I think they would rather not have four games in just over a week - it's a very demanding schedule.
"We are the first of the four teams and hopefully we can get something. Although a draw is acceptable, if we've got aspirations of the top six we need to try to win the game."
Hibernian went on a run of five wins before battling back for a draw against St Johnstone on Saturday, and Brown wants to see his side replicate that kind of form.
He added: "Someone needs to go on a run similar to the one Hibs are on. They are the form team at the moment from the bottom group.
"The draws aren't giving us the points that are required to move up a couple of places in the league. We've got to accept that."
