Lee Johnson makes Hibs 'ego' claim as he lifts lid on relationship with Ron Gordon and Ben Kensell

Lee Johnson insists there is no 'ego' to be had at Hibs and that a director of football being introduced at the club is not an idea he would reject.

The Hibees boss previously hinted at displeasure over previous hierarchy decisions, including that of Ryan Porteous' transfer limbo as the Easter Road outfit look set to lose their prize asset this month. And Johnson, who is hoping last weekend's win against Motherwell is a catalyst on the park for improvement, says the club can internally develop with more football 'nous'.

Johnson admits the relationship between himself, owner Ron Gordon, son Ian and chief executive Ben Kensell is as fluid as possible but revealed that his previous work with a director of football at Sunderland bore fruit.
