Despite a promising start to his tenure as manager, Lee Johnson has won just one of his past eight league games, and his team is in risk of dropping out of contention for a place in Europe. Hibernian were defeated 3-2 by Rangers at Ibrox last time out, as an Alfredo Morelos winner in the 62nd minute was enough to consign the visitors to another setback despite an improving performance.
The Hibees have also been shocked by the revelation that star player Ryan Porteous would not be signing a new contract at Easter Road, implying that Johnson and his recruiting staff may have a busy January window ahead of them. Nonetheless, Hibernian’s whole emphasis will be on the weekend’s match against Livingston, where a win will allow them to overtake their opponents into sixth place.
