Defender Ryan Porteous will reportedly NOT move to Rangers despite suggestions over a cut-price move away from Hibs next month.
The 23-year-old is in the final six months of his deal and will not be signing a new contract following months of negotiations with the Easter Road club. The Leith side now plan to cash in on Porteous during the January transfer window, although any transfer fee would be weighed up against the player’s value in helping the team push for European football in the Scottish Premiership.
Former Hibs boss Jim Duffy had hinted that a move could be on the cards for the Scotland cap going as far to suggest that a £500k move to Rangers could on the cards if they wanted to do a January deal with the Hibees. The Ibrox side have faced a defensive injury crisis so far this season with John Souttar, FIlip Helander, Connor Goldson and Ben Davies all facing time on the sidelines.
