Hibs loan round-up: Triple joy for trio with goals and cup success

A cup shock against Hibs’ rivals, two goals in a 3-0 victory, and a strike in a comfortable away win were all part of what the Easter Road side's loan players got up to over the weekend.

With most players involved at least once either last weekend or in midweek, we’ve taken a quick look at how they fared for their respective loan clubs.

Jack Brydon – Civil Service Strollers

Brydon featured in defence for Lowland League side Civil Service Strollers as they posted a 3-0 win away to Vale of Leithen.

Josh Campbell – Edinburgh City

Another big win for the Citizens, another Josh Campbell goal. James McDonaugh's side ran out 4-0 winners against Annan at Galabank with the on-loan Hibs man the only non-Henderson on the scoresheet for the visitors. Striker Blair netted twice with defender Liam grabbing the other.

Kevin Dabrowski – Dumbarton

Dabrowski wasn't in action at the weekend but did play in the Sons' 3-0 defeat at home to Falkirk last week.

Jayden Fairley – Stenhousemuir

The 17-year-old was not involved as Stenhousemuir lost 3-1 to Queen's Park.

Yrick Gallantes – ADT

The winger has returned to Scotland following the culmination of his loan spell in the Philippines but could be loaned out again in January.

Tom James – Wigan Athletic

With his loan spell up next month, James continues to play regularly for the Latics, and completed the full 90 minutes earlier this week as Wigan slipped to a 2-1 defeat at Lincoln City. Former Hibs defender Adam Jackson started for the hosts before being forced off with injury during the first half.

Dino Leddie – FC Malaga City

Centre-back kept a clean sheet as he played the second half of Malaga City’s 6-0 win against UD Algarrobo.

Paddy Martin - Stenhousemuir

The goalie was between the sticks for the Warriors' clash with Queen’s Park, with the Hampden outfit triumphing by three goals to one.

Fraser Murray – Dunfermline Athletic

There was no room for Fraser in Stevie Crawford’s starting line-up for the Betfred Cup clash against Arbroath, but the midfielder was brought on as a late sub as the Pars coasted to a 3-1 win on the coast.

Innes Murray – Alloa Athletic

Innes started on the left of an attacking trio as Alloa hosted Hearts in the Betfred Cup, playing the full 90 minutes and a portion of extra time before making way for Lee Connelly. Murray is of course ineligible for the Wasps’ next fixture in the competition – a home tie against Hibs.

Callum Yeats – Stenhousemuir

Yeats wasn't part of the matchday squad as Stenny lost 3-1 to Queen's Park with former Hibee Simon Murray on the scoresheet for the Spiders.

Connor Young – Civil Service Strollers

Teenager Young continued his impressive form for Strollers with a brace in the Christie Gillies Park outfit’s 3-0 win at Vale of Leithen. Gary Jardine's side are on the road again tomorrow with another Lowland League fixture against East Kilbride at K-Park.
