Two Hibs players have made headlines for very different reasons this week - one who looks to have become indispensable and another who’s in danger of being cast adrift.
I’m talking about Rocky Bushiri and Harry McKirdy and the latter could really do with learning from the former. Let’s start with the positive and Lee Johnson ’s £10m Bushiri valuation may have been made tongue-in cheek but the big defender has become invaluable to the side. What a difference a few months make as it wasn’t only Johnson who would have happily allowed him to leave in the summer.
A year ago he was Rocky by name and rocky by nature. But now the Belgian is proving to be just rock solid. He was under pressure after costing goals and a ridiculous sending off at Dundee for lashing out at Paul McGowan. But he’s improved spectacularly under Johnson, he seems to be enjoying the different style of football and he’s grown up as a player.
