It's no secret that Sir Andy Murray has a huge affection for Hibs. And the double Wimbledon champion's influence is clearly rubbing off on Novak Djokovic.

Muzza, 37, has flown out to California to work with the Serb at the Indian Wells Masters this week and the pair will later travel to the Miami Open. World No.7 Djokovic announced last month that Murray would stay with his coaching team "indefinitely" following a trial at the Australian Open. And it's expected the tennis superstars will continue working together during the European clay court season until the French Open in May.

Murray was filmed on court with Djokovic yesterday, giving out advice during a training session. And the Scottish sporting legend's mum, Judy, was quick to spot Djokovic's interesting choice of attire as the 24-time Grand Slam champion was kitted out in green and white - just days after the Hibees beat Hearts 2-1 in the Edinburgh derby.

Writing on X, formerly known as Twitter, she quipped: "Love that he’s got Novak wearing Hibs colours…… @HibernianFC @DjokerNole @andy_murray #GGTTH." It didn't take long for Hibs fans to latch onto the post.

One fan said: "Brilliant @JudyMurray it be great to see @andy_murray invite @DjokerNole to Easter Road for a game." A second replied: "Andy's good influence is beginning to take effect." While a third joked: "Think we can get him to sing sunshine on Leith?"
