David Marshall has heaped huge praise on Hibs duo Kevin Dabrowski and Murray Johnson.
The former Scotland international has arrived at Easter Road this summer on a two-year deal and is likely to start the campaign as Lee Johnson's first choice following the departure of Matt Macey to English Championship side Luton Town.
Dabrowski played second fiddle to the former Arsenal man last term but grabbed a taste of first-team action including a stunning man of the match display against Hearts in the Edinburgh derby. He will be going out to push veteran former Celtic man Marshall all the way for the gloves this term, with the 37-year-old a huge fan of his new team-mate.

Third-choice Johnson is another the Easter Road club have high hopes for in the future and he played a starring role for the Under-18s side last term.
The Hibees have completed their warm-weather training camp in Portugal as they get set for a return to competitive action this weekend.
Clyde make the trip to Easter Road for Johnson's first home game with Falkirk, Bonnyrigg Rose and Greenock Morton making up the rest of the Premier Sports Cup section.
He told Edinburgh Evening News: “Kev and Murray have been great. I kept an eye on Hibs a lot last season and Kev did well when he came in.
"He made some big saves and the Hearts game where he came in and made his debut, he looked good. He’s a big character and I’m looking forward to working with him.”
He continued: "I know Muz’s agent and he told the club has high hopes for him.
"He is a good natural goalkeeper. He’s just turned 17, but he will be looking to get games and maybe go on loan.”
