If this is bye Emi.. taking Gers run with you would be Cherry on top

Make most of loan star while he's here as he's exactly what is needed to end barren streak

EMILIANO MARCONDES could hold the key to Hibs earning a first win over Rangers in 10 attempts tomorrow.

But should he produce the goods on the big stage at Ibrox, he'll also be opening the door to bigger offers come the end of the season.

That's a problem for the summer, though.

Nick Montgomery gave hope to Hibees this week that a permanent deal for the Danish playmaker - who is a free agent in a couple of months isn't a non-starter.

That's great. Maybe he really is enjoying his football so much in Leith that he would be willing to take a wage cut to stick around.

It's all in the player's control.

One thing is for sure, though, if it's money that motivates Marcondes, then he won't be at Hibs beyond May. Right now he will be on Premier League wages at Bournemouth which Hibs can't afford Bill Foley dosh or not.
