Lee Johnson opens up on night out with Hibs fans & singing 'Sunshine on Leith' during Portugal trip

Lee Johnson has revealed he had a go at singing 'Sunshine on Leith' as he opened up on bumping into Hibs fans during the pre-season trip to Portugal.

The new Easter Road gaffer took his squad out of the country for a week of squad building and warm-weather training ahead of their return to competitive action in the Premier Sports Cup this coming Saturday against Clyde.

Johnson - who replaced Shaun Maloney at the helm - opened up on the staff night out that ended up with the Hibees faithful and 20 cameras in his face having a sing-song. The 40-year-old however believes that is exactly what it is all about. Getting that connection between the players, staff and supporters. He believes the trip was also more than worthwhile for his new recruits to get them integrated with the existing pool. The likes of David Marshall and Aiden McGeady have arrived this summer as part of the major summer overhaul in Leith.
