Hibernian can confirm that Glenn Middleton’s loan from Rangers has been cut short.

Initially due to run until the end of the season, Glenn has been allowed to return to Ibrox ahead of the January transfer window opening, when he will be free to feature for Steven Gerrard’s side.

Brought in as an option out wide following the loss of Martin Boyle to injury, the Australian international’s return to fitness and top form ahead of schedule has limited Glenn’s first team involvement of late.

He leaves with the best wishes of everyone at Easter Road.
