Hibs manager Lee Johnson doesn't think Ryan Porteous' contract has been 'bumped up' quick enough as he enters his final 12 months.
The centre-back's stock rose midweek as he shone on his Scotland debut during a 0-0 draw with Ukraine. Johnson loves working with Porteous but admits his current terms at Hibs don't fall into line with what he should be getting. He reckons the Easter Road board now need to offer him a big contract to persuade him to avoid joining other clubs and commit his future to the team he's made his name at.
Johnson explained: "We’ll have to offer him a very strong deal, he has been at the club a long time, potentially hasn’t been - in my opinion, bumped up quick enough to maintain the importance of the players. That’s where we’ve put ourselves at risk a little bit and have to try to remedy that.
