Last updated : 07 November 2016 By Steve Forbes

Hibs keeper Ofir Marciano has been called up to the latest Israel squad, for the World Cup Qualifier against Albania.

It will, however, mean that Marciano will miss Saturday's Championship clash with Falkirk at Easter Road.

The Hibees already have midfielder John McGinn away on international duty for Scotland down at Wembley against England on Friday.

Hibs boss Neil Lennon has hinted that McGinn could play just 17 hours after the England game - depending on what his involvement is on Friday night.

Hibs could now face having two of their most influencial players missing for the game against Peter Houston's side.

Back-up keeper Ross Laidlaw is likely to replace Marciano against the Bairns.

Laidlaw started the season in goal for the Hibees, including the Europa League double header against Brondby, and impressed.
