Lee Johnson in detailed Hibs injury update for Rangers test with four key men 'out on the grass'

Lee Johnson has provided an injury update ahead of Hibs' return to action with four big players 'out on the grass'

The Easter Road side were rocked by the news key man Martin Boyle would be ruled out for the rest of the season after initial hope that he would recover from injury in time to play for Australia in the World Cup. However, he missed out on the finals and was given the season-ending news in a major double blow.

Jake Doyle-Hayes and Lewis Miller are also out of the trip to face Rangers at Ibrox as Michael Beale makes his competitive bow in the dugout in Govan. But it was much better news on Aiden McGeady, Kevin Nisbet, Harry McKirdy and Kyle Magennis who have been getting some good minutes in the bank on the training pitch. Whether they are thrown in the deep end tomorrow night remains to be seen with Johnson offering a more cautious update stating minutes need to be managed to perfection in order to get the best out of the quartet.
