Shaun Maloney Hibs nightmare eased by 'gracious' Brendan Rodgers as he lifts lid on 'complete closure'

Shaun Maloney admits he has 'complete closure' over his time at Hibs and says former Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers helped him massively during his time at Easter Road.

It was four months of missed chances for the former Hoops star, whose first foray into management went awry at the Hibees after gaining invaluable experience under top coaches Roberto Martinez and Brendan Rodgers systems at Belgium and Celtic respectively. But the former Scotland star revealed he has no lingering qualms over his time in Leith after being the successor to Jack Ross.

The 39-year-old also lifted the lid on the 'invaluable' relationship he had pre, during and post his time in Edinburgh from mentor Rodgers and admits he has learned so much from his short reign. He told the Coaches Voice: “We’ve stayed in touch, and he [Rodgers] was brilliant to speak with before I took the manager’s job at Hibernian – as he was during my time there and after I left. Some of the best managers are really, really gracious with their time.
