Lee Johnson in blunt Hibs verdict as boss hopes for 'one or two' signings after disappointing cup matches

Hibs manager Lee Johnson wants a couple more players added to his squad after a humbling 1-1 draw in the Premier Sports Cup group stage with Championship side Morton.

The Easter Road team had already lost to League One outfit Morton sandwiched between wins over Clyde and Bonnyrigg Rose, but Grant Gillespie's penalty was a dagger in their last 16 hopes.

Ewan Henderson got them level on the night but Dougie Imrie's visitors won a bonus point penalty shootout to leave their Premiership hosts on seven points.

They top their group on goal difference but now need Falkirk to lose their final Premier Sports Cup Group D match against Clyde or hope nine separate teams finish below seven points, which is a borderline impossible scenario.
