Hibs injury latest for Rangers with Harry Clarke return predicted and 3 key players missing

Hibs head coach Shaun Maloney hopes to call upon Matt Macey and Josh Doig against Rangers.

But the Easter Road boss admits he's still struggling for depth as injuries take their toll.

Kevin Dabrowski has impressed in goals for the Easter Road side after number one Macey picked up a niggle that had him miss the derby with Hearts and benched against St Mirren.

Left-back Doig meanwhile has returned to full training after a nine-minute cameo in Saturday's 1-0 defeat to St Mirren. Paul McGinn is another defensive option fully fit after only making the bench against his former club.

Maloney's Hibs side are yet to win a league game post-winter break and it doesn't get any easier as they travel to Premiership leaders Rangers.

The 39-year-old said: "Matt Macey is now training fully, and Josh Doig the same. I pushed them hard to try and get in the squad for St Mirren and now they're fully training and available for selection like everyone else.

“Paul McGinn’s absolutely fine again. He was one I pushed, but now he's training fully so he is available to start the game.”

Maloney is, however, missing Joe Newell, Paul Hanlon, and Kyle Magennis, who is out until March. January signing from Arsenal Harry Clarke will also miss the Rangers clash with a long-term hamstring problem.

But the Gunners loanee could be in line to return after next month's international fixtures.

Hibs' head coach added: “Joe is unfortunately struggling. It doesn't look like he'll make it. We are taking Paul Hanlon game by game, but I think it might be too soon again. With Kyle there’s still no real change. He'll be still three or four weeks.

“I’m in contact with Harry quite a lot; he's still progressing. It’s a long one, a long injury and it's a really bitter
