Hbs’ on-loan midfielder Dylan McGeouch is about to resume full squad training after rehabilitation work at Celtic and has managed to do some light training.
The 21-year-old who is on a season-long loan from Celtic has been sidelined since October after undergoing surgery on his ankle.
Speaking to Hibs TV, McGeouch said: “I’ve just started jogging again this week. Hopefully I can pick it up this week and I’ll be back training again as soon as possible.
“We just need to see what the physios say and just take it from there.”But hopefully I’m good to go now and I can get back as soon as possible – I’ve just got to see how my ankle feels.
“The surgeon has given me the go-ahead to start running, so I hopefully I can step it up again and take it from there.”
McGeouch spent part of his youth career with Rangers and says he would love to be back in time to face his old club at Easter Road on Saturday 27 December.
He added: “Of course it would be great to be back for that – it’s a big game for the club and everybody involved.
“So hopefully I can get back for that, but I’m not promising anything.
“I’ve had a wee niggle in my ankle for a while. I saw a specialist in Glasgow about it and he thought it was best that I had the surgery just to clean it up before it got any worse.”
