Sekondi Hasaacas striker Eric Bekoe believes his former side Asante Kotoko are second best to rivals Hearts of Oak.

Bekoe’s whose side lost 1-0 at the Baba Yara Stadium but failed to get credit to the Porcupine Warriors.

He fears Kotoko could be clobbered by in-form Hearts of Oak when the two sides meet in the Ghana Premier League derby on 01 May.

“Our team (Kotoko) is not done yet. There are lot to be done. This was not even a match Kotoko should win and celebrate and this is the first time I’ve seen Kotoko fans refuse to jubilate despite winning. You could see there is more to be done,” Bekoe said on Metro FM.

“I am a die-hard fan of Kotoko and we must tell the truth – the current Kotoko players should up their game.

“Kotoko really need to wake up. This is not the Kotoko I know. For the players to be feigning injuries trying to delay time – it’s regrettable.

"And if this is the team Kotoko is going to use against Hearts of Oak, then they should sleep. I’m saying this for sure.

“Look I watched Hearts of Oak against Medeama myself and I can tell you the finishing of Hearts of Oak is a fearful one this season – any club playing against Hearts of Oak really need to be strong. They have a very sharp attack."

Bekoe earned legendary status at Kotoko where he scored 17 goals to win the goal king and the league title in the 2007/08 season.
