Wiss on his way out

The Finnish midfielder is currently in negotiations with his hometown team, Tampere about a move in the January transfer window.

The Hibs boss has several injury concerns for the game against Aberdeen at the weekend but will not consider the 31-year-old for the match.

"We knew over the course of a long season that we'd pick up injuries and suspensions and that we are running a tight ship," stated Williamson to the Edinburgh Evening News.

"It's incredible that all the players out are left-sided but that's the way it is.

"Jarkko could be away in a few weeks' time but I'm looking ahead and we won't be taking a backward step by introducing him back into the team."

He added: "I'm more concerned with the long-term future of the club and this could provide another opportunity for someone to stake a claim for a place in the side."
