His team-mate scored a wonderful goal in the team’s 2-1 win over Cove Rangers in the Betfred Cup on Saturday.

It took the Nisbet on to seven goals in nine appearances, plus two assists in the green and white. A point illustrated by Hibs on Twitter as they sent out a warning to opponents: “And he's just getting started.”

The 23-year-old has been a revelation since joining in the summer for a six-figure fee from Dunfermline Athletic. In the league his six goals have been worth five points.

Doidge’s message was clear and straight to the point. The Welshman simply tagged the Scotland national team in Hibs’ tweet.

Hibs boss Jack Ross revealed that Scotland boss Steve Clarke is aware of the player's qualities having also called up Easter Road duo Paul McGinn and Ryan Porteous.

“He is well aware of Kevin’s progress this season and how well he is doing and the attributes he has," Ross said. “I don’t think he is far away and, if he continues the way he is at the moment then he will force his way into that.”

Meanwhile, Hibs also revealed on Twitter that they have queried if there is any way Doidge qualifies for Scotland.

They replied to a fan asking Doidge if he had any Scottish family: “Believe us, we’ve asked the question.”

The striker has yet to be called up by Wales despite his form for Hibs in the past 12 months.
