Hibs midfielder Dylan McGeouch OUT of QOS clash

Last updated : 14 November 2014 By Steve Forbes

Hibs boss Alan Stubbs has today revealed that in-form playmaker Dylan McGeouch will miss Saturday's important clash with Queen of the South.

The on loan Celtic midfielder has had to go for a minor operation on his ankle injury, that will keep him out the game and most likely for a few weeks.

Hibs already have goalkeeper Mark Oxley on the doubtful list after picking up an injury in last week's 1-2 win at Cowdenbeath.

The Hibees will also be missing striker Dominique Malonga who is on international duty with the Congo this week.

Stubbs said:

“Dylan has been fantastic for us, but the best course of action was for him to have an operation and, hopefully, he’ll be back sooner rather than later.

“There will be dialogue ­between us and Celtic and we’ll agree on a course of action that’s best for Dylan.

“He just needs a slight clean-up in the ankle area, in the joint, which is nothing too major. It’s in the best interests of Dylan and his career that he gets it done now.

“I think it was probably an ­accumulation of things. It’s maybe just been brewing, a knock in the game then a knock in training.”
