I was going to say that I am pleased, because I don’t like the idea that we are developing a rivals player.
Then I remembered Hendo.

Whilst acknowledging the poor set up and balance of the side as factors in Middleton’s poor contributions, there is also a clear lack of confidence in his own abilities and lack of football intelligence there too.
To be fair, I missed the derby so I didn’t catch his short cameo in that game, but overall I been unimpressed. He appears unwilling to try and take a man on by going round the outside and using his pace, instead he’s looking for a pass inside, often to a man who is in no better position than him. This was exemplified v Celtic. He had the ball, the defence was quite narrow with a lot of space out wide. He tried to pass inside, the ball was cut out and hit back off him, forcing him to carry on his run. He went straight on and was dispossessed easily. There was the freedom of the pitch out wide. I didn’t understand why he couldn’t work that out. Knock the baw wide, get the head down and go for it.
That scenario sums him up for me, regardless of other factors. Perhaps better coaching could help his decision making. It just seems like basic level game intelligence to me.
I would be playing Murray in that position, or at least giving him the same opportunity to make an impact.

I think Middleton is a good option to have, look at the impact he had coming on against hearts the few runs etc nearly scoring. When boyles fit again I hope we see Middleton/Horgan one side and boyle the other that should share the weight of counter pace about. It will be easier to run at defenders when you’re not the only person in the team capable of it. And as much as it pains me I think he’s been hindered with playing on the left as Stevenson has offered 0 in the final third this season, he has looked reluctant to even play a forward pass. But hopefully when boyles back Middleton/Horgan on the left boyle on the right will see an upturn from all 3

Henderson was a sub for half a dozen games in a 45 game season

I don't think he's a bad player. But you have to ask yourself if he was a Hibs youngster putting in those performances would anyone be excited about them as a prospect? Not sure I would.

We're effectively improving one of ours rivals players. I'm not crazy about that but if the person coming in is immediately a step above what we have then fair enough.
But if he's getting minutes with us to improve and show his form but our own young guys like Murray aren't then something ain't right.

He shouldn’t need getting up to speed as he’s played fairly regularly including for the Scottish under 21s and a fair number of games for Rangers last season and presumably took part in their pre season.

There's nothing wrong with his fitness, he's up to speed.
The problem he has is that he's been launched into an atrocious team whose tactics don't suit the personnel. There are a few good players who have struggled in our team this year.
He was very good for the U21s last month and it wouldn't surprise me if he went on to have an excellent career. He won't look back on this spell with much fondness.

Whether he's good enough or not I don't care! But it's disrespectful to hibs to just delete everything. I don't buy into this thing that he's being forced to by the Huns.
Did they make Jason Cummings delete everything Hibs related? No!
He can get ta ******!

Good summary!
Completely agree with your comments regarding Murray, we should be giving our own youngsters first chance.

See Hibs have uploaded pictures to social media of Glenn Middleton playing for Scotland and referring to him as our on loan winger.. can put that one to bed then.
