McCann: Play With Swagger, Confidence And Freedom

Grant McCann hopes to see his already-promoted side play with swagger, confidence and freedom against resurgent relegation battlers Wigan Athletic.

Hull City secured promotion back to the Championship with two games to spare after a dramatic 2-1 win at Lincoln City.

The Tigers now have a first league title since 1966 firmly in their sights and will be crowned champions this weekend if they better Peterborough’s result against Lincoln.

And after a weekend of celebrations, McCann says there is now a real determination within the squad to “finish the job”.

“From Tuesday onwards, the focus has been good again and that’s one thing about this group – you can trust them,” said McCann.
