It has been a busy transfer window on the east side of Scotland’s capital thus far. While neighbours Hearts have yet to bring in any new faces, Hibs have recruited five players from elsewhere and tied up one of last season’s favourites on a permanent deal.
There is still more to be expected from Lee Johnson’s men between now and the season getting underway, such is the need for reinforcements as Hibs go in search of a third-place finish after ending up last campaign in fifth. As a result, there are other rumours flying around about players coming through the door at Easter Road.
Going by what we know so far and who else could be arriving, we’ve had a bash at guessing the Hibs line-up for the opening day of the new Scottish Premiership term against St Mirren at Easter Road. What do you think?
