New signing Drey Wright has been allocated the number eight following the departure of Vykintas Slivka.

Alex Gogic will ear number 13 whilst Kevin Nisbet will take over Greg Docherty’s number 15, a number he wore with distinction at Raith Rovers and Dunfermline Athletic.

Florian Kamberi retains his number 22 top but his future at Hibs remains in doubt.

Young striker Jamie Gullan will wear number 19 whilst Josh Doig will wear number 25, worn last year by Porteous and previously by fans’ favourite Efe Ambrose.

Deputy left back Sean Mackie who spent last season on loan with Dundee before picking up an injury has been allocated number 26.

Highly rated youngsters Ben Stirling and Ryan Shanley will wear numbers 27 and 29 respectively.
