Hibs expect to have duo Sean Mackie and Alex Gogic back in training this week

Sean Mackie and Alex Gogic are expected to return to full Hibs training this week after missing Saturday’s 3-0 win over Motherwell.

Sean Mackie missed Hibs' win over Motherwell.

The duo were ruled out by small injuries, with Mackie nursing a thigh strain and Gogic an unspecified knock.

Mackie has performed well at left-back since being given a chance in defence, while Cypriot midfielder Gogic has been a mainstay of the Hibs team.

"Sean had a slight thigh injury in the latter part of the week. We've got good options in that area of the pitch so it meant we did not need to take any chances,” said Ross. “But similar to Alex Gogic, it's just something minor and hopefully they will be back training in the early part of this week.”

Ross also revealed that Jamie Murphy was subbed as a precaution at Fir Park. "It was Jamie's hamstring - he felt a bit of tightness,” said Ross. “Nothing too major, we hope, because he's been an important player for us.”
