Lee Johnson has opened up on the moment he learned Martin Boyle would be available to face Hearts as he revealed he ignored the advice of the Hibs hierarchy to include the returning fans' favourite.
Hibs completed a deal for the 29-year-old last night just eight months after his departure for a life-changing move to Saudi Arabia with Al-Faisaly back in January. However, once the chance presented itself, the capital club moved quickly to bring the attacker back and he made an instant impact as he netted a derby leveller with the last kick of the ball to send Easter Road wild.
The result made it four points out of six to kick off the season for Hibs. Lawrence Shankland had opened the scoring with his first Hearts goal after superb play from Barrie McKay, and that looked like it would be the deciding effort before the last-gasp injury-time drama.
