Tam McManus insists Hibs must go for Derek McInnes after firing Lee Johnson. And the Easter Road club have also been urged to assess ex-gaffer Neil Lennon and Stephen Robinson in the search for the Englishman’s successor.
Johnson was axed after almost 16 months in charge following a poor start to the Premiership campaign. Fans chanted for his dismissal during the weekend defeat by Livingston which left Hibs rooted to the foot of the table.
Ex-Hibee McManus says “punts” on the previous two managers Shaun Maloney and Johnson have not worked and it is time for the club to secure the services of a tried-and-tested individual with a strong track record in Scotland.
Lennon and St Mirren’s Robinson are in the mix with their credentials backed by Record Sport columnist. But McManus believes McInnes, currently in charge at Kilmarnock, should be his old club’s No.1 target.
