Hibs’ Scottish Cup winning captain David Gray will be out of action for a period of around 12 weeks.
The full-back sustained knee ligament damage during last Saturday’s Ladbrokes Premiership head to head with St Johnstone, after an innocuous collision with Saints’ Scott Tanser.
It’s a fresh injury, unrelated to any previous knocks.
The club look forward to seeing the influential defender return to the fold when he’s completed his rehabilitation programme.
Scotland international Steven Whittaker is likely to deputise in his absence.
John graduated from Telford College in 2010 with an HNC in Practical Journalism and since then he worked for the North Edinburgh News, The Southern Reporter, the Irish News Review and The Edinburgh Reporter. In addition he has been published in the Edinburgh Evening News and the Hibernian FC Programme.
