Ron Gordon will arrive in Scotland on Saturday to escalate the hunt for Hibs next manager as Tony Mowbray and Michael Appleton joined the bookies’ frontrunners to succeed Shaun Maloney.
Appleton left his position at Lincoln City after almost three years in charge at the weekend while Mowbray will bring a five-year spell as boss of Blackburn to an end next week.
Appleton, 46, was the preferred candidate to replace Neil Lennon in February 2019 but talks fell apart at the final stage - reportedly over personal terms - and Paul Heckingbottom was instead appointed.
