Hibernian have been dealt a major early-season injury blow after it emerged that recent signing Aiden McGeady faces the prospect of more than two months on the sidelines.
Former Scotland goalkeeper David Marshall has been named as Hibernian’s new team captain.
Hibs saw key players fall to injury as they prevailed 1-0 against English Championship side Norwich City in a friendly match ahead of the new season.
Perhaps they will start a centre-forward on the wing, or a centre-back at right-back. Or in Joe Newell’s case, a central midfielder at left-back although one imagines it is unlikely to be a regular feature of the Hibs team this season.
He is speaking after playing in Hibs’ 4-1 victory over Bonnyrigg Rose in the Premier Sports Cup group stages – his third start in as many games since signing a permanent deal following a loan spell in the second half of last season.
Easter Road boss Lee Johnson will be without Demetri Mitchell, Paul Hanlon, Kyle Magennis and Kevin Nisbet again this weekend, but he is hoping that he will be able to start reintroducing at least one or two of them to first team training relatively soon.
Hibs have confirmed their squad numbers ahead of the 2022-23 Scottish Premiership season.
The new era at Hibs gets under way competitively on Saturday in the group stages of the Premier Sports Cup when Clyde visit Easter Road. There will be a new strip on display, a raft of new signings and a new face in the dugout.
