Hibernian manager Terry Butcher admits he is struggling to find the right players to come into Easter Road but is determined to add new faces this month.
Butcher and chief scout Steve Marsella have so far drawn a blank as they search for suitable players who are available during the January transfer window.
Butcher told Hibernian TV: "Steve and I have been up and down the country looking at players - crossing some off the list and adding one or two to it.
"But it is really hard because the players who are available are normally very young and inexperienced. They've got some good attributes and in a year or two will become very good players.
"But we want what's right for Hibernian Football Club. That means quality, and players who may become available in the next couple of weeks aren't available yet.
"It's hard, but we'll keep on trying and I'm sure that one or two will come up before the end of January."
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
