Lee Johnson admits Hibs are 'very close' to where they want to be as they get set to face Rangers at Ibrox in their Premiership return.
The Easter Road side went into the World Cup shutdown on a disappointing run of form that has resulted in them sliding from third in the table at one point down into eighth spot. The break from action has allowed the capital club to hit the reset button ahead of the second part of the campaign and allow players a rest and get key men back in action.
The likes of Kevin Nisbet and Aiden McGeady have picked up valuable game-time and training ground work during the break as they bid to return and hit the ground running for boss Johnson. The former Sunderland gaffer shares the fans' disappointment with the recent run but says his side are now getting towards where he wants them to be as they bid to upset Michael Beale on his competitive debut under the lights on Thursday night.
