Josh Taylor set for Hibs visit as Easter Road side look for inspiration

Hibs will invite Josh Taylor along to training in a bid to inspire players after a poor start to the season.

Assistant coach Robbie Stockdale admits he would love to have Taylor along to East Mains to meet the players after his stunning win at the weekend.

Taylor has spoken about potentially fighting at Easter Road for his next bout after beating Regis Prograis in London.

Hours earlier, Taylor's favourite football team limped to a 2-2 draw with Ross County after losing a lead for the fourth game running.

Taylor has visited Hibs' East Lothian training ground in the past and Stockdale admits both he and head coach Paul Heckingbottom are eager to tap into the Prestonpans fighter's knowledge.

"Josh is an inspiration, a Hibs fan and I think his dream is to have a fight at Easter Road," Stockdale said.

"We have already put the wheels in motion for him to come to the training ground. We'd love to meet him and have a chat with him. Absolutely fantastic and a real inspiration to everybody.

"If you don't use things like that as a boost then you're foolish. For him to reach the top of his profession, and such a difficult profession as well, is absolutely fantastic.

"Me and Paul are really looking forward to meeting him."
