Greg Docherty returns to Rangers as four Hibs loanees sent back to parent clubs

Four players on loan at Hibs have returned to their clubs after the Scottish football season was concluded.

A statement announced that Jason Naismith, Stephane Omeonga, Marc McNulty and Greg Docherty have now left the Easter Road club.

Naismith joined the Hibees from Peterborough last summer while the other three players arrived in January but saw their Edinburgh stay cut short as the Premiership was ended early due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Omeonga and McNulty both previously spent time on loan during the previous season after joining from Genoa and Reading respectively.

A statement on the club's website read: "Hibernian FC can confirm that our four on-loan players have returned to their parent clubs following the formal conclusion to season 2019-20.

"Greg Docherty, Jason Naismith, Marc McNulty and Stephane Omeonga will report back to Rangers, Peterborough United, Reading and Genoa respectively having each made an important contribution to the club, on and off the pitch, and we thank them for that.

"All four have added something different to the group and were very popular members of the dressing room in their own way.

"Greg is a model professional, with maturity beyond his years. Jason has shown unbelievable resilience and, even after suffering his injury, was an important presence around the training ground and Easter Road on matchdays.

"Marc and Stephane, of course, already had that strong relationship with the supporters from their initial loan spells and it was a pleasure to work with them again."
