CJ Egan-Riley in Hibs 'that's what i'll do' admission after Lee Johnson Dingwall show of faith

CJ Egan-Riley is ready to play in any position he is needed by Lee Johnson as he roared: "If that's what he wants, that's what I'll do."

The versatile star arrived on loan from English Championship high-flyers Burnley until the summer and was thrown on for the final stages of the midweek draw with Ross County in Dingwall. He came in at right-back to replace Chris Cadden - and he is happy to adopt that position if the manager needs him there. Johnson's message on recruiting him was down to quality not versatility as he hailed the show of faith to hand him his bow.

Reacting to his first taste of action for the Hibees, he said: "To come on and make my debut and get a good 20 minutes was good, I'm more used to the conditions now and the playing surfaces and getting to know my team-mates as well. The result wasn't what we wanted but we have to keep pushing forward."
