Jair Tavares in Hibs confidence boost as he hits goal trail in Reserve League return

Jair Tavares has boosted his Hibs confidence with goal contributions in a 2-2 development match draw with Dundee United.

The Hibees have entered into the rebooted Reserve League this season and played out their maiden match at HTC on Tuesday afternoon. Their recruit from Benfica in the summer transfer window netted once and provided the assist for an own goal in the match but was cancelled out from making either of them winners for the capital club.

It was a strong XI fielded as all involved look to make an impression for starting matches at Premiership level under manager Lee Johnson. Ryan Schofield has arrived on a season-long loan deal from Huddersfield Town to challenge David Marshall for the number one spot and the goalkeeper started this one, with fellow new signing Lewis Miller starting at right-back. He is continuing to adjust to Scottish football after a spell at Central Coast Mariners in Australian's A-League came to an end in the summer.
