“Catchy” was how Gray described Mulligan when he arrived in summer, and the 22 -year -old continued to win only fans with his performances.
He is at the top of the graphics with regard to successful dribbles, and ranks highly for keys in the opposition box and the duels won.
What comes down to a box-to-box midfielder who is not only stuck, but who advances and advances the Hibs in the right areas of the field.
“It looks like a brilliant signature,” said Hibs Fan David when BBC Sport Scotland asked for opinions on the arrival of Mulligan. “A very versatile player who can play in several positions, so it will be very interesting to see how he settles down.”
“Brilliant Signing,” added another fan, Alex. “Good Scottish talent with a good experience at a young age. He will prosperate in Hibs.”
Prospering is the word. Although it was rested from the departure XI against Livingston this weekend, it came in the 82nd minute to score the second goal – an absolute crier from the outside of the box which shaken a post.
Having been moved between the midfielder and his right back during his stay in Dundee, it is not surprising that the objectives never appeared strongly in the previous statistics of Mulligan.
But he seems to have added this dimension to his game, having been authorized by Gray to attack forward, continuing to excel in his emerging days to Easter Road.
