Craig Levein was left delighted at Ryan Porteous' upturn in fortunes after the Hibs defender scored the decisive goal in Hibs 1-0 win over Motherwell on Saturday.
Porteous was a stand out for Scotland as Steve Clarke's men gained Nations League promotion last month and has been a rock in the backline at club level too. And now former Hearts boss Levein insists it could be time for Porteous to seek a move elsewhere with his stock at a career high after netting in back to back games while keeping a clean sheet.
"I'm delighted for Ryan Porteous", Levein told BBC Sportsound. "He was getting a bit of stick earlier in the season and his header yesterday was brave to say the least. All credit to him. He's had stick but he's went about it the right way and showed people that he's made of strong stuff. But he can go to someone else now, not Hibs."
