I think he'll give the team a boost with his enthusiasm alone. Wish we'd managed to get Henderson for that reason too.

Never seen Omeonga and Allan in the same team so excited to see that

[BILLYHIBS]

Can he play against Dundee United or was he not registered in time for the original cup tie?

Never seen Omeonga and Allan in the same team so excited to see thatI didn't even think about Allan and Omeonga linking up for the first time. Think with the right holding Midfielder, Omeonga Hallberg and Allan in front of them could be an exciting midfield!

Think it was the international clearance wasn't through in time, however with the amount of flying don't think he would have but him in.

Will be involved for the replay though.

I believe he was registered but left out with all the traveling etc

If he wasn't eligible (registered) for Sunday then he can't play in the replay apparently.

Sounds good but it means dropping one from Boyle, Kamberi & Doidge...
Omeonga is going to need a few weeks to catch up in terms of match fitness since he’s hardly kicked a ball since he left us.

Never thought about that, don't want to drop any of those 3. Can we not just play a 4-1-3-3? [emoji23].

How would you line up if we sign a quality CDM as well?

If we r weak defensively due to injuries i hope he takes pressure of by thwarting attacks in midfield then gives a platform for attack

[hibee-boys]

Will score the winning goal in the Scottish Cup final, heard it here first.

Edit: zero clue if this will happen but I would like all the adulation given to Saul if it does😎

I would have him in ahead of Hallberg.

[BILLYHIBS]

I thought he was brilliant at nicking the ball off opposition players

I would just like to see him add more of an end product to his game re assists and goals

I remember him nicking the ball off a Rangers player outside our box and the move led to our equaliser Stevie G was convinced Omeonga had fouled his man- brilliant!

Looking forward to seeing him team up with Scott Allan

[Smartie]

I think he'll give us a good bit more in games against Rangers and Celtic - we've struggled badly in midfield against them both lately and that was never the case before. Against them I'd be inclined to drop Allan and play a new DM plus have Hallberg and Omeonga in the middle, Boyle and Kamberi coming in off the flanks and Doidge up front on his own.

Against weaker teams I do like the diamond.

We've missed Omeonga's mobility and it will be good to have someone who can nick the ball in tackles as well as drive up the park in possession.

He's not The Messiah

.....he's a very naughty boy!!

Neither is Vela but Omeonga might work out better. Given the choice Vela or Omeonga most of us would choose the latter. So we r happier to have a midfielder we can use sometimes. Vela did at least score though.

[NAE NOOKIE]

He isn't going to improve us massively IMO, but he could add to the energy and dynamism of the midfield and certainly make us a bit harder to play against, that in itself would be a step in the right direction.

[hibsbollah]

...he will be make a splash akin to Cantona's arrival at Man Utd. He will hit the ground running as a swaggering, jinking genius who will lead us on glorious European nights and reinvent how we look at the Scottish game.

I know that, I just hope that people don't think he's suddenly going to transform the team all on his own.

I've seen this so many times before, where one player coming back from long term injury, or whatever, has been expected to miraculously change our whole season.

He'll make the midfield look busier as he has a lot of energy but for someone to suggest leaving out Allan to fit him in is daft.Allan has been involved in the last four goals we've scored.Omeonga will have to up his output to match that.

I was suggesting doing that against Celtic and Rangers, we've been bossed by them in the middle of the park and I think Omeonga will help address that.

Scott Allan is the first name on the team sheet most weeks.

Is that it. Was expecting a wee bit more to be honest😂
