Riordan preparing for Hibs start

Riordan enjoyed a prolific spell at Hibernian before moving to Celtic

Hibernian striker Derek Riordan aims to play against Dundee United on Saturday to begin his second spell at the club.

The 25-year-old re-signed from Celtic in the summer but has been struggling with a groin strain.

Hibs manager Mixu Paatelainen told the club website that Riordan should be fit in time for the match at Easter Road.

"He does have a slight groin niggle at the moment," said Paatelainen. "He had that when he came here but the doctors said it's a niggle that will go away."

MY SPORT: DEBATE
Should Riordan go straight into the Hibs team?

Meanwhile, Hibernian's other new signing defender Souleymane Bamba could also be set to make his debut at Easter Road this weekend.

The 23-year-old former Paris St Germain defender recently joined Hibs on a three-year contract from Dunfermline for an undisclosed fee.
