Josh Mulligan is set to end a four-month absence from the Hibs squad in Wednesday night's crucial game at Rangers. The key midfielder has been out with ankle injury since the Scottish Cup defeat at Dunfermline in January. "He's never done any rehab on that surface and we didn't know how it would react, so given that he hadn't played any minutes at all and had been out for a long time, we didn't feel it was a risk we could take," head coach David Gray told Hibs TV.
Hibs head coach David Gray says the club must keep pushing for a European place despite the odds being stacked against them. Fourth-place Motherwell's win at Ibrox last weekend moved them six points clear of Hibs, who lost to Hearts. With just four games left Gray knows time is running out for his team to achieve their objective, but – with the two sides due to meet at Easter Road on the last day of the season – he still believes they have a chance.
Scott Allan knows a Hearts title win is the "worst nightmare" of Hibs fans - but insists David Gray's players will have no thoughts of taking it easy against Celtic on Sunday. A win for Celtic at Easter Road would move them level on points with Hibs' Edinburgh rivals Hearts at the top. Hibs still have their own targets to chase, with Motherwell six points clear in fourth, which is the final guaranteed European spot.
