Adam Bogdan could start as Jack Ross’ Hibernian host Motherwell
New Hibernian boss Jack Ross could hand Adam Bogdan a second debut against Motherwell on Saturday after signing the former Liverpool goalkeeper this week.
Defender Darren McGregor (abdomen) is back in full training and nearing a return but will not be risked as Jack takes charge of the Leith outfit for the first time.
Club captain David Gray (knee) has started light training but also remains out.
Motherwell boss Stephen Robinson will have midfielder Liam Donnelly back from suspension.
Mark O’Hara could also be in contention after recovering from groin trouble but winger Christian Ilic is still recovering from a hamstring issue.
Long-term absentees David Devine (cheekbone), Charles Dunne (groin) and David Turnbull (knee) remain unavailable.
Motherwell provisional squad: Gillespie, Tait, Carroll, Grimshaw, Mugabi, Hartley, Gallagher, Donnelly, O’Hara, Maguire, Polworth, Campbell, Seedorf, Hylton, Donnelly, Long, Cole, Scott, Carson.

FourFourTwo was launched in 1994 on the back of a World Cup that England hadn’t even qualified for. It was an act of madness… but it somehow worked out. Our mission is to offer our intelligent, international audience access to the game’s biggest names, insightful analysis... and a bit of a giggle. We unashamedly love this game and we hope that our coverage reflects that.
