You'd be forgiven for thinking Jason Kerr and Warren O'Hora have played together for years, such is their understanding in the Hibs backline.

Two leaders, the pair - beside Jordan Obita or Jack Iredale - have struck up a strong relationship already in the early, albeit important, stage of the season for David Gray's side.

And they were at the heart of an impressive result in Belgium as Hibs head back to Edinburgh for the second leg of their Conference League play-off against Gent in the driving seat following the goalless draw.

At the Planet Group Arena, Gent naturally dominated but failed to capitalise on their hefty possession and glut of chances to truly test Raphael Sallinger in goal.

It was the proverbial meat and drink for sturdy centre-backs O'Hora and Kerr, who are also roommates on the continent with Hibs. They'll be hoping there are a few more in store this season.

"Jason is an experienced player, someone who has played a lot of games," O'Hora told BBC Sport Scotland after the stalemate.

"I played against him when he was at Wigan, so I knew what he was like.

"He's fitted in as if he's been here all his life. He supports the club himself, he's an unbelievable leader. You can see why he's been captain at other clubs and he's grown, he's getting better every time.

"We've been rooming together as well - he snores a lot!

"But seriously, we've got competition now. Rocky [Bushiri] is missing through injury, which is sad for us, but there's healthy competition there.

"Jason has come in and not put a foot wrong, so fair play to him."

Few things went wrong for Hibs in Ghent, outside Owen Elding's penalty being saved by Davy Roef. But still, the Hibees head back home with a heap of belief on their quest for history.

"Internally, we have a lot of belief in ourselves," the defender added.

"We believe, as a group and a squad, that we can achieve something. We want to do it for everyone associated to the club and we have a brilliant opportunity to do that.

"We won't get ahead of ourselves, we'll just concentrate on the task ahead of us."
