Leeds United’s Conor Shaughnessy could face his former manager on Saturday.
Former Leeds United boss Paul Heckingbottom could come up against one of his former players this weekend.
The Hibernian manager, who was sacked by Leeds last summer, will get his first taste of the Edinburgh derby on Saturday when his side visit Hearts.
And there’s a good chance that a certain Conor Shaughnessy will be in the opposition first XI.
The Irish centre-back is on loan at the Scottish Premiership side from Leeds, having struggled for first-team chances under Marcelo Bielsa during the first half of the season.
Shaughnessy found it difficult early doors at Hearts too, but he impressed in Saturday’s 2-1 win over Aberdeen and is likely to keep his place for tonight’s trip to Rangers.
Heckingbottom, who was only hired by the Elland Road side last February, never got to use Shaughnessy due an ankle injury that the defender suffered last January.
But he was a highly-rated prospect at Leeds prior to Thomas Christiansen’s sacking and he might be determined to show the former Barnsley boss what he missed out on last term.
