Hibs’ Under 20s back in action tonight

Hibs’ under-20 team are back in SPFL Development League action tonight (kick off 7.15pm) against Partick Thistle at Ainslie Park.

Joe McBride’s team are unbeaten in nine and have scored an impressive 16 from the previous four games.

Striker Lewis Allan has contributed seven goals in the previous six games – and the 17-year-old from Earlston in the Borders told hibernianfc.co.uk “I’m looking forward to the game against Partick Thistle – hopefully I can play well, help the team and get amongst the goals again.

“It is just great to be involved and be part of it. I think I’ve learned a lot since the summer and I just want to improve, so that when I do get an opportunity I can make an impact.

“I travelled with the squad to the game on Saturday and went to Dumbarton the weekend before, so it is all good experience for me – being in and around the first team set-up.”
