Kevin Nisbet Hibs injury update as Lee Johnson confirms 'best case scenario' in major boost

Hibs have been handed a major Kevin Nisbet injury boost.

The Hibees striker pulled up during the first half of the draw with Ross County in Dingwall midweek and had to be replaced. It was a worrying sight having spent an extended period on the sidelines and returned in top form.

However, scans have revealed the injury is not as bad as first feared and he should return later this month against Kilmarnock. The news will come as a huge relief to the Easter Road faithful and club boss Lee Johnson who admits the news was 'best case scenario' He told Hibs official website: "This was the best case scenario as it was the lightest of hamstring strains. Nizzy has shown what a big player he is for us this season and we look forward to having him back playing shortly.”
