Shaun Maloney has revealed the ‘brilliant’ help Brendan Rodgers offered him before, during and after his ill-fated spell in charge at Hibernian - and insists he now has ‘complete closure’ on his time at Easter Road.
Maloney was sacked by Hibs in April, after just four months in charge, and has since studied other managers - both past and present - in an attempt to learn the lessons from his short-lived stint in the capital.
The former Scotland internationalist believes shortcomings in attack, where Hibs sold the talismanic Martin Boyle and then lost Kevin Nisbet to a serious knee injury, cost him the opportunity deliver on a top-six finish and ultimately his job.
