Lee Johnson is sending a clear message to Hibs fringe stars who are not making an impact as they could be cut from the club.
The Hibernian boss is preparing for a second-half of the season revival mission at Easter Road, after finishing up before the World Cup break with three straight defeats and slumping to eighth place in the table. It could be a crucial window for the Englishman who has already lost star man Martin Boyle for the remainder of the season through injury.
Top defender Ryan Porteous will also broker an exit, while the likes of Kevin Nisbet have not yet made their full return from the sidelines. There have been some notable transfer misfires so far also, shown by Harry McKirdy's lack of impact since sealing a move from Swindon Town in the summer.
