Hibs boss David Gray has provided a three-player injury update ahead of his side’s home clash against St Mirren.
The Hibees are desperate for three points on Saturday, something they haven’t been able to achieve since beating St Johnstone in September.
Since then they have been dealt three defeats but haven’t lost their last three Premiership games against Hearts, Ross County and Dundee United.
But draws won’t be enough to claw Hibs out of the automatic relegation spot they sit in at the moment and beating an understrength Buddies outfit has to be the aim.
Lewis Miller, Dwight Gayle and Chris Cadden Hibs injury updates
Speaking to the media at his pre-match press conference, Gray revealed that the club are still determining whether full-back Lewis Miller can play a part against St Mirren.
The Aussie international had to be substituted out of the draw to Dundee United last Sunday and it remains to be seen if he will return.
Elsewhere, striker Dwight Gayle and right-back Chris Cadden trained during the week. Gray said: “It will be a similar squad to what it was previously.
“Dwight Gayle has got closer, Chris Cadden as well, both have been back training this week. We will see how they get on.
“And we are just assessing Lewis Miller as he came off at the 60-minute mark against Dundee United.”
Gray remains ‘positive’ about turning Hibs form around
Gray insists he can see the light at the end of the tunnel for Hibs despite just one win in 11 league games this season.
He knows how things can turnaround for his side and everyone at the club is desperate for it to happen.
The Hibs manager said: “I think it’s about staying positive. It can be difficult but as long as you stay true to yourself and believe in what you are doing.
“I think if I was not seeing any improvement or not seeing areas to be positive about – I’ve said it many times now, we’re not shying away from where we need to improve.
“The chances we’re creating and the clinical nature of it – if we weren’t getting those chances then I’m looking at it going, ‘I’m not sure how this turns.’ I think we would be in a much worse situation.
“But I’ve not got that at all. I think the biggest most pleasing thing for me is how close the group is still. I see it every day in training, how desperate they are to turn this round.
“Everyone is feeling it and hurting the same but we’re desperate to put that right and we’ve got an opportunity to do that on Saturday.”
