Shaun Maloney invited Hibs greats Pat Stanton and Paul Kane to lunch with the current Easter Road squad yesterday in a bid to inspire them ahead of tonight’s Edinburgh derby.
And the Hibees manager has vowed to continue to ask legends of the past to join them as he tries to re-establish links that he believes have been lost over the course of time.
Maloney is adamant that Stanton and Kane weren’t at the Tranent HQ to beat the drum ahead of the visit of Hearts tonight but their presence provided a timely boost after the weekend loss to Livingston.
