Sporting director Malky Mackay has suggested Hibernian could yet add to their squad if the right fit is available. The Easter Road club has recruited veteran forwards like Dwight Gayle, Junior Hoilett and Adam Le Fondre in recent years and may be tempted to do so again after a slow start in the Premiership. "We'll look at the free agent market," Mackay told Hibs TV.
