Next Hibs manager latest as Jon Dahl Tomasson 'on the shortlist' with targets taking shape

Former Malmo boss John Dahl Tomasson has reportedly joined the list of managers being considered for the vacant Hibs job.

The Easter Road club have been on the lookout for a new boss since Shaun Maloney was dismissed in December.

A huge list of potential candidates have been linked but speculation has cooled over the likes of Roy Keane, Paul Clement and Phillip Cocu.

And now The Scotsman claim that Tomasson IS being considered alongside them.

Known to fans in Scotland for leading the Malmo side who eliminated Steven Gerrard's Rangers from the Champions League,

He left the Swedish side in January after leading them to a second league title on the bounce.

But Johnston remains the frontrunner at this stage having undergone a second interview
