Lee Johnson insists he’s “very positive” about landing Will Fish for a second season-long loan at Hibs. And the Easter Road boss is confident the defender’s return to Leith won’t signal the end of his summer transfer trawl as the Leith recruitment team cast their net wide for fresh blood having already made six signings.Fish is expected to play for Manchester United in their glamour friendly against French giants Lyon at Murrayfield on Wednesday night.
