Hull City boss Steve Bruce hailed his Egyptian employees after Geddo and Ahmed Elmohamady guided the Tigers to a dramatic win over Derby County. New signing Geddo hit his first goal for the club before Elmohamady netted the winner of the 2-1 victory, while Ahmed Fathi remained as an unused sub. As Bruce heaped praise on his new recruit Geddo, the former Manchester United defender also promised that Fathi will play a big role for the team. "The boy Gedo showed his class. He's an international footballer and I think he's got 19 goals in 30 games so we know he has got quality," Bruce said after the Derby win. "A big credit goes to our chairman. He's worked wonders to get him here. "I didn't think it would be possible to get two international footballers on loan, and Fathi will be a big player for us too. "We don't think they are a big footballing nation but they are and they have always been a really good team. "We've got three of them (Egyptians) at the moment and they'll play a big part. I'm convinced of that. "Ahli play in front of 75,000 every week. They're the Manchester United of Africa, so it's no surprise that they (Geddo and Fathi) are good players. "Obviously they've got to adapt to England but they are good players - simple as that." Hull remain favorites for promotion to the Premier League as they moved up to second in the Championship after their win.
