Lee Johnson has opened up on the future of star man Kevin Nisbet as the transfer window enters its final few days.
The Easter Road club accepted an offer from English Championship side Millwall with the Scotland international looking set for a departure from the capital. However, he decided against the switch in a huge transfer twist and returned north of the border. He climbed off the bench and netted in the massive 6-0 win over Aberdeen but the Hibees gaffer admits the hitman called him on Friday and declared he wanted to start the match.
The 41-year-old explained the reasons why he wouldn't be in his starting side but assured him that he would feature and also pointed out they play again midweek. The men from Leith play the same night as the window shuts and Johnson 'believes' he will stay as part of his squad now until at least the summer. He has 18 months left on his current deal.
