Hibs played their latest pre-season friendly this afternoon, thrashing League Two side Berwick Rangers.
There was a glaring omission in the Hibees squad in John McGinn, the subject of a £1.5m bid from Celtic in the last few days, with another expected in the coming days.
The official line is that he, along with Darren McGregor, Florian Kamberi, and Marvin Bartley, was rested.
Will we see Super John McGinn in a Hibs shirt ever again???
Hibs were backed by a 1000+ support an ran out 0-6 winners at Shielfield Park in the Berwick sunshine.
First-half goals from Oli Shaw, Simon Murray, and David Gray gave the visitors a 0-3 lead.
Whittaker, a second Shaw goal and one from Lewis Allan completed the rout.
There was a debut for new keeper Adam Bogdan, who was handed 45 mins.
Hibernian:
Bogdan (Laidlaw, 45), Gray (Boyle, 45), Ambrose, Hanlon, Stevenson, Whittaker (Stirling, 58), Martin, Swanson (Gullan, 69), Slivka (Mackie, 61), Shaw, Murray (Allan, 74).
ATT: 1,410
