Michael Beale hailed Ryan Porteous as a “good young player,” but ruled out Rangers making a move,
Porteous has rejected the offer of a new contract at Hibs and as things stand, is set to leave for nothing in the summer. However, the Easter Road club are keen to try and cash in for what they can get in January, with a number of English Championship and League One clubs interested in Porteous, including Millwall, Sunderland and Sheffield Wednesday.
Serie A outfit Udinese are also understood to be monitoring his situation, and Porteous told Sky Sports he was open to the idea of testing himself in a new league. Rangers had been linked with the Scotland international along with city rivals Celtic. But while Beale was impressed with what he saw from Porteous, who headed Hibs into an early lead, he confirmed they weren’t interested in trying to bring him to Ibrox.
