Kevin Nisbet admits he's like a 'kid waiting on Christmas' as he gets set for his long-awaited return against Rangers.
The Hibs star has been working hard on the training ground and has picked up vital minutes on the park during the World Cup break as he gets ready to play under Lee Johnson. His return will be like a new signing for the Easter Road gaffer with the star striker physically and mentally ready to go as he bids to bring an end to the slump in form.
Nisbet is convinced he will return as a better and stronger player from his extended period out as he opened up on his 'lonely' battle on the sidelines. He admits the first three months were the toughest in what was the first real serious injury of his career. Reflecting on his journey, the Hibs star said: “I can’t wait to play at Ibrox. I’m like a kid waiting on Christmas and it is a long time since I have played in the league. Physically and mentally I am ready to go. And now I need to see if the gaffer gives me the nod.
