The season is approaching the business end as clubs battle for the remaining spots in the league table. For Hibs that means completing their comeback and leaping above rivals Hearts, securing third place and, unless we see a Scottish Cup final upset like no other, getting eight games in European football next term as their prize.
Even with all this going on, thoughts are still forwarding onto the summer months and how the squad can be improved.
Now, this author has neither the time nor the resources to scour the world for the best available talent within Hibs’ budget, but there are some interesting options both north and south of the border which they could be looking to bring in.
Here are some potential names...

. Nicky Devlin (Livingston)
Right-back may not be as much of a need now if Lewis Miller can build on his performance at Celtic Park, but if Hibs are market for another then they should look no further than the Livingston right-back and captain, who is a strong defender and loves to burst forward with his searing pace. He's out of contract in the summer. Photo: Sammy Turner - SNS Group
9. Joe Shaughnessy (St Mirren)
Bringing in a St Mirren reserve is not the most inspiring of choices to end on, but Shaughnessy always plays well at Easter Road and his situation in Paisley is a bit puzzling as he's too much of a solid Premiership centre-back to be wasting away on their bench. Photo: Sammy Turner - SNS Group
