Hibs star Chris Cadden has likened the return of striker star Kevin Nisbet from his injury hell to a 'new signing' - with the Scotland star set to play in a green and white shirt for the first time in NINE months at the weekend.
Nisbet joined Hibs in 2020, and immediately hit the ground running at Easter Road with 18 goals in 45 games for the Leith-based side as they finished third and secured qualification to the first ever Europa Conference League qualifying stages as a result. Not only his domestic endeavours were impressive; Nisbet accrued 10 caps for Scotland and scored against the Netherlands prior to Euro 2020.
But after injuring himself in a clash against Celtic's Carl Starfelt last February, Nisbet has not featured a single minute since, something which Lee Johnson 's men have definitely felt the effects of. And, with his return expected this weekend in a friendly against English outfit Middlesbrough, Cadden could not hide his excitement at the return of his team-mate following the lengthy lay-off.
