Hibs wait on Yantorno

Hibs boss Mixu Paatelainen remains keen to sign former Gretna midfielder Fabian Yantorno, even though the Uruguayan is still recovering from a serious knee injury.
Paatelainen insists he will only agree to sign Yantorno when he has proved his fitness and that is unlikely to be when the squad starts pre-season training in three weeks' time.
The Hibs manager said: "I think Fabian is bang on schedule, I don't think he's too far ahead but I know he's going fine.
"Everything's going to plan and that's brilliant. We just need to listen to the physios and the doctors - they have a plan and we have to follow it.
"I think then Fabian will be able to do the running, but he won't be able to play with all the twists and turns.
"He needs more strengthening of his knee so hopefully between mid-July and the end of July."
