Hibs boss Lennon encouraged by Jason Cummings' hunger
The 21-year-old has played only three minutes of the senior side’s last three matches after being demoted to the bench following his failure to find the net since the home defeat by Ayr United in mid-September. Lennon described Cummings as “off-colour” when addressing shareholders at Monday’s annual general meeting and was hopeful that a spell on the sidelines would “reinvigorate” him.
The following day the striker scored for the under-20 team against Kilmarnock before being sent off for swearing at a linesman in reaction to an offside call. Lennon was at the game at the Oriam and, although he is likely to sanction Cummings for this breach of discipline, he saw plenty of positive signs from the hitman prior to his dismissal and is pondering using him more prominently against Falkirk at Easter Road tomorrow.
