Hibs duo receive work permits as Lee Johnson poses 'mope or crack on' question ahead of league start

Hibs duo Marijan Cabraja and Elie Youan have handed their new club a boost as they finally receive their work permits.

The Easter Road club have been left frustrated after other signings like Jair Tavares and Momodou Bojang were delayed in making their debuts due to red tape. Left-back Cabraja and forward Youan didn't feature in their calamitous Premier Sports Cup group stage campaign that saw the club exit that competition but could feature versus St Johnstone on Saturday.

It'll be Lee Johnson's first Premiership match in charge of Hibs and he insists there's no time for feeling sorry for themselves. A defeat to League One side Falkirk was poor and a 3-0 loss to Morton due to an ineligible player - Rocky Bushiri - was even worse after an initial 1-1 draw. But the former Sunderland boss insists that his Hibs side are ready to get going again on league business.
