Hiberian's O'Neil undergoes operation

Hibernian's John O'Neil has had an operation after dislocating his shoulder in the 5-1 defeat at Hearts.

The Easter Road captain collided with an advertising board in the first half at Tynecastle and dislocated his right shoulder.

An X-ray proved inconclusive before O'Neil saw a specialist for further analysis.

Hibs boss Bobby Williamson had already resigned himself to losing the midfielder for two months but was delighted to report the operation had been successful.

Williamson told the Edinburgh Evening News: "John has been through an operation. He was put under and the bone was clicked back into place. By all accounts the operation went well."
