Aiden McGeady says Hibs players are talking about whether or not Martin Boyle may be coming back in the dressing room.
The veteran winger has signed for Lee Johnson's men this season but has suffered a knee injury which is likely to keep him out for most of the first round of Premiership matches. His boss is seeking reinforcements on the flanks and has confirmed interest in signing Boyle, who left Easter Road for Saudi Arabian side Al-Faisaly just eight months ago.
His money-spinning move to the middle east has not gone to plan as of yet, with the club relegated into the second tier and McGeady claiming there are problems with money he's due from his employers. Boyle's return to Hibs - where he won the Championship and Scottish Cup - has been spoken of though and a buzz has been created.

"There's some sort of issue there but for us, he would give us an added boost, he's a proven top player at this level.

"I think looking at our squad he would definitely add something. He got his move and he deserved it. From a selfish point of view it would be good for us if he came back."
