Hibs leading scorer was forced to limp out of last week’s victory over Livingston after just 12 minutes and his presence at the front was missing as Hibs crashed to a 3-1 defeat against Kilmarnock at Rugby Park, meaning that Killie have now done the double, having sneaked a 1-0 victory at Easter Road earlier in the season

The scan is just a precautionary move, according to the gaffer and he said, It makes sense to me that if a player takes a knock, kick or twist and that if we are not 100 per cent certain of the extent of the injury then a diagnosis scan as quickly as possible gives us the best indication of the steps to take next
The gaffer will be hoping that Gary O’Connor, who is top scorer with eight goals in all competitions, will be back for the visit of the 'Well on Saturday, a match in which he hopes his players will bounce back and put the disappointment of being beaten for a second time this season by Kilmarnock behind them.
