Christian Doidge has fired a pre-season question to Lee Johnson after bagging a brace in yesterday's friendly for Hibs.
The towering striker was forced into a loan move away from Easter Road last season after finding game time hard to come by. Doidge has cut a frustrated figure during his time in the capital, with a goal return 21 in 86 appearances. The 30-year-old Welshman left the club for a spell at Kilmarnock in January but has returned to the fold with Hibs in need of a goal scorer following the departure of Kevin Nisbet to Millwall.
And yesterday he took his opportunity after being given minutes as Hibs ran out 4-2 winners against Edinburgh City. The Leith club had to come from two goals down at Meadowpark with Doidge playing a key role in the second half response. The big striker also set up Dan Mackay for Hibs to take the lead. Another fringe player Elias Melkersen also bagged a goal after returning from a loan spell in the Netherlands with Sparta Rotterdam.
