Lee Johnson eyes 'bridge' to Celtic and Rangers as Hibs boss reveals secret financial weapon

Lee Johnson Hibs Mykola Kukharevych City Group Troyes Will Fish France Saints

Lee Johnson hopes the success of loan signing Mykola Kukharevych will help Hibs tap into the City Group goldmine more often - and bridge the gap on the Old Firm.

The Ukrainian forward - on loan from Ligue 1 side Troyes - broke his Easter Road duck against St Johnstone on Friday night with a first half header. And boss Johnson reckons the development of the deadline day signing under his coaching staff won’t go unnoticed by Kukharevych’s City Group employers back in France.

But for the brilliance of Saints keeper Remi Matthews, the 21-year-old could have had a hat-trick before being replaced by Ellie Youan with half an hour of Friday’s clash to go. Hibs went on to implode with a Kyle Magennis red card and two late goals consigning them to a third defeat on the spin.
