Last updated : 21 February 2014 By Steve Forbes

Hibs have been dealt a huge blow, with the news that influential midfielder Scott Roberton is facing 8 weeks on the sidelines.

Robertson, 28, picked up an knee ligmament injury playing in the "mini" derby as Hibs U20 beat Hearts U20 3-2.

The former Dundee Utd and Blackpool player only played for the U20's to pick up some much needed match fitness, after three weeks without a game,  through suspension, a spot on the subs bench against Celtic, and a free week.

Robertson will now miss the Hibees push for the top 6.
