Hibernian boss John Collins has confirmed that new signing Mickael Antoine-Curier is challenging for a starting spot against Falkirk this weekend.

The 24-year-old Frenchman has impressed in training at Easter Road, having only recently joined Hibs from Norwegian side FK Haugesund on a one-year contract.

Collins told The Scotsman: "Mickael's fitness is good. This week has given him a chance to get to know the boys and he's worked hard and done well in training.

"We've done a lot of crossing and finishing and Mickael has shown up well in front of goal, finding the net on a regular basis.

"He's only had a few sessions, so we'll see how he progresses over the course of the week, but he could come into contention for the match at Falkirk."
