Harry Clarke

[Steven79]

Any truth in the rumour that he's picked up a hamstring injury and is out for 6-8 weeks?

Yes

[Unseen work]

You’re joking?…..right?

Maloney said in his interview that he’d be in contention so unless it’s a last minute injury.

[Hibee Mac]

Aww no danger, if true that's just typical

[cabbageandribs1875]

it's quite astonishing the injuries picked up the last two years at our club, i'm not even going to get frustrated by this

[Lee Marvin]

So we are going to see zero new signings start tomorrow night...

And Boyle away too by sounds of things!? Wish I hadn't logged on tonight

What about Bushiri, Tait and Mueller?

[Unseen work]

If true I fear the worst for Monday.

Could be looking at

Rocky Daz Hanlon

Or

Rocky Hanlon Stevenson

Rockys not played in ages so it’s a huge game to Chuck him into.

Only Hibs sign 6 people are can’t play 3 of them - Henderson, Melkersen and Clarke!

[Lee Marvin]

What about Bushiri, Tait and Mueller?

Maloney said Mueller behind in fitness. Can't imagine Tait starting (may be wrong). Forgot about Bushiri

[Hibee Mac]

What about Bushiri, Tait and Mueller?Bushiri not much game time in a while, Tait doubt he will be starting this soon, Mueller apparently not fit enough yet due to time off after a long season.

In saying that, Bushiri might need to start if Clarke is injured

[Nicho87]

I’d say if that’s true we will be back in for another centre half now.

For Monday on the basis Clarke is out

Macey

Bushiri Hanlon Stevenson

Cadden JDH Newell Doig

Boyle?/Campbell Mueller/Wright

Nisbet

Chance for Gogic in defence in next 2 games ? Assuming he`s still with us

[04Sauzee]

Well this is a pain in the chuff. Was looking forward to seeing him play the next couple of weeks.

[SHODAN]

Easter Road must be cursed against centre backs. There's no other explanation.

Maloney was obviously trying to keep it from Celtic

What a terrifying thought

What a terrifying thought

Why? you another one that thinks a couple of bad passes makes him hopeless?

Don’t think he has the awareness to do a good job at centre half. Watch highlights of goals we conceded at the start of the season, gogic lost his man every time.

And let’s face it, it’s not a couple of bad passes, it’s nearly every time he has time on the ball he gives it away. We need a lot better.

If he was good enough for us we wouldn’t be trying to move him on

[Nicho87]

Stevenson starts at centre half Monday if Clarke is out

Gogic won’t be near the defence

Gogic has never started in defence for us, and your second point is total fabrication, but that's your entitled thoughts. Gogic in my opinion was one of our best players last season in a team finishing 3rd. Jack Ross preferred a static midfield where players never bothered pressing or running forward this season, and chucked him on from the start against Celtic without him getting any meaningful game time before that. Not sure what Maloney's tactics will be but it appears to be a pressing game in the two games he's been in charge. I definitely see a place for him in my opinion.

[Jim44]

Bad news about the unavailability of players for the Celtic game but, on the positive side, it’s a free hit as it’s a match we would generally struggle to get anything out of.

[B.H.F.C]

Stevenson starts at centre half Monday if Clarke is out

I think Stevenson would have started on the left of the three regardless.

[GreenCastle]

If this is true it’s really unfortunate - was actually really looking forward to seeing him play.

Crazy to think we played Celtic only a few weeks ago - and since then we have signed 6 players (with only 2 possible able to play) - 2 players are suspended that played in the final and we have Boyle possibly with a move on his mind - so basically weaker than last game !

[Nicho87]

I think Stevenson would have started on the left of the three regardless.

If all available for Monday were fit I think he would have went

Clarke Bushiri Hanlon

[B.H.F.C]

If all available for Monday were fit I think he would have went

Clarke Bushiri Hanlon

I thought he’d go Clarke, Hanlon, Lewis.

Will obviously never know but Clarke being injured feels a bit typical of this season. Six new players and be lucky to see one!

To be clear he’s allowed to say my opinion is wrong because Gogic is an internationalist but I’m not allowed to give examples of internationalists who are hopeless?

You’re both allowed to say those things. People might not agree with you though (either of you).

This is still a bit surprising re Mueller, he’s been here for 4 weeks IIRC from his interview?

Just Monday that's the real issue.

We should be fine, Rocky in for Porteous I’d imagine which will only be one change to the back three in our last game.

What a start for Rocky. If he gets through that unscathed we will have made a good choice.

[we are hibs]

Hibs have been dealt a hammer blow ahead of the re-start of the Premiership as Harry Clarke is facing up to six weeks out.
The 20-year-old defender*was poised to make his debut in Monday's clash with*Celtic*as the new management team of Shaun Maloney and Gary Caldwell head back to Parkhead.

The highly-rated centre back is seen as pivotal to Maloney's plans at*Hibs*as he puts his own stamp on the squad after replacing Jack Ross last month.

However,*Express Sport*can reveal that Clarke has suffered a hamstring injury in a training game which has wrecked his start at Hibs.
It's a major issue for Maloney in the short-term as he is already without Ryan Porteous for the next three matches and Paul McGinn is also side-lined for two.

It’s no fabrication at all. Go back and watch the Motherwell game first game of the season and he loses his marker for both Motherwell goals. It’s not my entitled thoughts, it’s fact, gogic lost his man for both goals in the box. Unsure why you think I’d make it up.

You see a place for him but hibs dont, that’s why we’re trying to move him on.

[Hibiza]

Is it too much to ask to sign a proven quality, injury free player who can go straight into the team.

[lord bunberry]

I’m less than impressed by the unavailability of the new players who were going to lift our season. Hopefully it’s a minor setback. Doesn’t augur well for Monday’s game.

I’d rather we do what we did and got all players in now to get them up to speed rather than scrape about by end of the window then realise this ie Scott in the last window

[theonlywayisup]

Sky Sports state Celtic striker Jota will be assessed; Chris Mueller, Rocky Bushiri, Harry Clarke and Dylan Tait are set to make their Hibs debuts.

Confusing!

:agree: I think theres some unnecessary anxiety on here. Not all our signings are ready to start straight away. It sometimes happens, not necessarily anything to do with the way we've managed the player or the likelihood of them getting injured again.

[Vault Boy]

So your judgement he can't play defence is based on one game when he was playing midfield. He wasn't at fault with both goals one maybe.

The man he was meant to be picking up scored both times

That’s your opinion which is fair enough. My opinion is that whenever he’s played this season he’s given the ball away or wasted possession more times than not.

It’s certainly not fabrication that we need better than gogic to progress

Anyway, this isn’t a thread about whether we think gogic is good enough or not. I doubt we’ll see him start in defence.

[ahibby]

Finding that hard to understand. Having had hamstring injurues, i know your legs are anything but fine, he must know whether his hamstring is pulled or torn,

Of course it is, gross exaggeration.

I think we do need better than Gogic, but I’m fairly sure he can still contribute whilst he’s still here and I think he ‘s more suited to playing as an emergency centre back than Stevenson, who has probably played the position less than an handful of times in his 500 plus games.

Gogic played centre back for a spell whilst at Hamilton, although there are those with uncannily good memories of opposition semi non entities that will say he was gash there.
