Hibs face a goalkeeping dilemma for the visit to Celtic Part on Monday after on-loan goalkeeper Dillon Barnes was recalled by QPR with immediate effect.
Branes was a last minute replacement for Ofir Marciano who was injured in the warm up ahead of Saturdayās game against Livingston.
The 24-year-old featured on eight occasions for the club this term ā providing good cover and competition for regular number one Marciano.
Head Coach Jack Ross: āDillon goes with our best wishes and Iād like to thank him for his contribution this season.
āHeās been a well-liked member of the group, whose attitude has been first class since the day he arrived at the Hibernian Training Centre.
āOur goalkeeping coach, Craig Samson, has been equally pleased with his efforts.
āDillon has performed well when heās had the opportunity to play – especially in our recent game at Ibrox when Ofir Marciano missed out through injury.
āHowever, we understand the desire for regular first-team football.ā
Dillon said: āIāve loved every minute of my time at Hibs. Iāve been made to feel very welcome by everyone at the club and itās been a great experience all-round.
āIāve learned a lot that Iāll take with me, and itās been a pleasure working on a daily basis with the coaching staff and the other goalkeepers.
āIāll always look out for the Hibs score on a Saturday and it goes without saying that I hope the boys have a great second half of the season.ā
