Not A Great Start To Hibs Season

Hibs need goals and not pre-season injuries Akpo Sodje will miss the start of Hibs season after he had to rely on crutches to hobble away from the pre-season friendly against Livingston. The former Charlton striker suffered the blow in the dying seconds of the game, and Colin Calderwood admits that the prognosis is not looking good. It means Sodje will miss the visit of Celtic, Hibs' opening game of the new season, a week on Sunday in front of the Sky Sports cameras but he could also be sidelined for longer. Calderwood said: "He's on crutches, he's had a scan but we have to wait. We cannot diagnose right away, we have to wait to let the swelling go down to allow the physios to have a look at him but it's certainly a couple of weeks at least for him." However, Calderwood could be about to make a move for former Celtic striker Cillian Sheridan who featured against East Fife as a trialist. He said: "We know pretty much everything there is about him but if you can get that opportunity, I think we should take it. What we have to do is sell the place to him."
