Kevin Nisbet says he’s ready to take on Rangers and take up the Hibs mantle from crocked Martin Boyle after ending a tortuous time out of action.
The striker made his long-awaited comeback in a friendly against Middlesbrough on Saturday having been out since February after suffering a serious knee injury against Celtic. The Scotland international went down during the first half of the goalless draw at Easter Road after Carl Starfelt clumsily clattered through the back of him and the challenge resulted in Nisbet being helped off.
Now Nisbet is ready to lead the line in the first match back after the World Cup against Rangers and happy to take the pressure now that Boyle has agonisingly missed playing in Qatar for Australia with a similar injury.
