The current Hibs squad is looking in great shape at the moment. The additions of Chris Cadden and Jackson Irvine in the January transfer window have really taken play up a notch and given some quality depth to a side that badly lacked it earlier in the campaign.
However, things move fast in football and the squad could look very differently come the summer when a few key players, including Irvine himself, come to the end of their deals, while there’s also likely to be returning interest in the likes of Kevin Nisbet and Ryan Porteous.
Thankfully, with the ongoing financial uncertainty due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, there are a number of talented players currently plying their trade in the Scottish top flight who are still available to snap up on a free transfer this summer if Hibs need to replenish their stock.
These are just a handful of those...

Hibs were previously heavily linked with the Killie playmaker. Even though his team have had a very rough season, Kiltie has shown at points he's still a dangerous top-flight calibre attacker. Photo: Craig Foy - SNS Group

3. Jon Guthrie (Livingston)
If Darren McGregor grows more into a coaching role or Ryan Porteous is sold, the Livi stopper would represent an excellent option. A real meat-and-potatoes defender who's a real aerial threat. Photo: Craig Foy - SNS Group
4. Hakeem Odoffin (Hamilton Accies)
Has excelled in three different positions (RB, CB, MC) this season for Brian Rice's side. A real aggressive player who is among the league-leaders in interceptions. Photo: Ross MacDonald - SNS Group
