The winger will miss the clash with Rangers after finally having an operation

Martin Boyle will miss Hibs facing Rangers with injury — Hibernian will be without Martin Boyle when they face Rangers next weekend, as the forward has undergone surgery on a long-standing hand injury. Boyle has been playing with his hand heavily bandaged for some time, attempting to delay the operation to avoid missing matches. However, the injury has caused him significant discomfort during both games and training, leading to his decision to finally have the surgery, according to reports from the *Edinburgh News*.

Boyle’s absence will be a significant blow for Hibs, especially with their upcoming trip to Ibrox. Despite his injury, Boyle made an impact as a substitute in Hibs’ recent win over St Johnstone, scoring a crucial goal after returning from international duty with Australia.

Reflecting on his desire to stay in the starting lineup, Boyle said, “I’ve been here for a few years, and I’m not getting any younger. I like the competition for my place; it gives me a lift. I want to keep that jersey and not give it to anyone else.”

Meanwhile, Hibs captain Joe Newell, who missed the St Johnstone match due to a groin problem, is expected to be fit in time for the clash with Rangers, benefiting from the break in fixtures this weekend.
