'AT HOME, I FEEL WE CAN BEAT ANYBODY'

RYAN GILES SENDS FIRM MESSAGE TO PROMOTION RIVALS MIDDLESBROUGH

- By BARRY COOPER

RYAN Giles says Hull City fear nobody in the Championship as they head into the busiest, and arguably, most crucial period of the season so far.

City host Giles' former club Middlesbrough tonight and will do so buoyed by last weekend's terrific win over a Stoke City outfit who sat second in the Championship ahead of the weekend's games.

Joe Gelhardt's 90th-minute winner, coupled with Boro coming from behind to beat Derby County, saw the Teessiders leapfrog the Potters into second and arrive at the MKM Stadium with promotion hopes of their own.

City, though, have been in good form at the MKM Stadium and had gone six games unbeaten in front of their own supporters before Ipswich Town ended that run last Tuesday night.
