Allan set to leave Hibs

Hibernian look set to be without Scott Allan when they host Morton in the Ladbrokes Championship.

Alan Stubbs still included him in his plans on Thursday but the midfielder spent Friday undergoing a medical with Celtic.

James Keatings and Jordan Forster remain out with hamstring injuries.

Daniel Handling is sidelined by a serious knee injury while Farid El Alagui is still recovering from knee surgery.

Morton are low on numbers as knee injuries keep Frank McKeown and Michael Tidser out.

Thomas O'Ware is missing due to ankle trouble and international clearance has still to be received for Dutch striker Romario Sabajo, but despite his selection worries, manager Jim Duffy is remaining positive.

Duffy said: "This is one of the games that made all the hard work to be promoted worthwhile.

"We are playing a big team at a big stadium and we need to go out and do ourselves justice.

"We were very competitive against Falkirk last weekend and earned a point and will need a similar approach in this game."
