Wolves hero Kenny Hibbitt says they're capable of winning the Europa League.

Wolves' Group K campaign gets under way next Thursday as Portuguese side Braga visit Molineux.

Besiktas and Slovan Bratislava are the other teams in the group, and Hibbitt – one of the stars of the run to the two-legged final in 1972, which they lost to Tottenham – thinks Nuno Espirito Santo's side will thrive.

"They've entered the competition thinking they can win it, I'm sure. I think they can win it," said the former midfield star to the Express & Star.

"Those three teams won't be easy to beat, none of them are in Europe – we found that with Torino.

"And I know we have started the season slowly, but it will get better, no doubt about it. The results will start coming back.

"It's a great achievement getting there, and I think we can win it, definitely."
