Murray is out for a month

According to the BBC Ian Murray will be out for a month after having had surgery on his groin injury.

He has already been missing since early january.

Will he be missed? To some people Murray has along with Jones and Bamba been one of the few players who have done reasonably well for Hibs this season. I think that Murray's game is very limited. It is worth remembering that Murray engineered a Bosman move to Rangers where he found out he was not up to the standard of a very weak Rangers team. He then went down to Norwich where again he failed to make the grade. There is a reason why he never made the grade at these levels.

Limited as a player or not, he still stands out when played next to people like Chisholm or O'Brien.

If Hibs had something to play for this season he might have been missed. As it is Hibs have nothing left to play for this season.

One plus point is that it might give young Hanlon a chance to establish himself in the first team. Hanlon has two qualities that Mixu does not appear to like in players, he is young and he can play football.
