Hibs’ midfielder Fraser Fyvie played the full 90 minutes in the Hibernian Development Squad’s 2-2 draw with Hearts last night at Oriam.
The 23-year-old has been side-lined with injury since July, and he has now set his sights on featuring in Saturday’s match against Greenock Morton at Easter Road.
He was an unused substitute in last weeks away victory over St Mirren in Paisley and now hoped that the 90-minutes will stand him in good stead for the current campaign.
After the game he told Hibernian Media: : “It was good to get my fitness back under my belt and I thought that the young boys did well and wee Hammer (Jamie Gullan) got two goals which is good for him.
“I thought it was a good performance, but conceding two goals is a bit slack, but the young boys showed the gaffer today that they can play and they are a good set of lads and we can be happy with the performance.
“It’s a priority at the minute to try and get minutes under my belt, so the more that I get the sharper I’ll be and the fitter I’ll be for the first-team games, so that is a big positive.
“I was on the bench last Saturday against St Mirren which was good and I was getting back involved. Getting 90 minutes with the Development Squad won’t do me any harm.
“I’m looking forward to Saturday against Morton. Hopefully it will be a good performance from the lads, we get the three points and I get a few minutes on the pitch.”
