The capital club sacked boss Lee Johnson on Sunday following a poor start to the Scottish Premiership season. The Hibees have lost three games out of three and sit bottom of the table.

Neil Lennon has opened the door to a return to Hibs by admitting he would be KEEN on the vacant post.

The search now begins for a new boss in the capital with a number of names being mentioned. Former Hibs and Celtic gaffer Lennon has been touted as a potential candidate to fill the vacant position. In his first spell he guided them out of the Scottish Championship before finish fourth in the top flight. He left the club in January 2019 after his summer 2016 arrival.

"They have to get the next appointment right for a bit of longevity and a bit of stability. I watched Hibs a few times this year, they've got some good players going forward but defensively they're not working hard enough. That needs to be corrected before they can make any sort of progress at all."
