Liam Craig (4)

Hibs skipper Liam Craig is back in full squad training and available to return to the team for Saturday’s Scottish Championship match against Alloa at Easter Road.

Craig was taken off during the Scottish Cup fourth round tie win away to Alloa Athletic with a slight hamstring strain which forced him to miss last weekend’s Scottish Championship defeat at Falkirk.

Speaking to hibernianfc.co.uk, Craig said: “I’ve been back training and I’m available for selection again – hopefully we can get back to winning ways on Saturday.

“Saturday’s game at Falkirk was the first one that I’ve missed through injury for four-and-a-half years, so that was disappointing and the result was equally disappointing.

“But we know what we need to do against Alloa on Saturday – we need to react positively and win.

“I’m looking forward to the game and I feel good after training on Monday and Tuesday.”
