Hibs are resigned to losing Scott Brown soooner rather than later. Despite Brown enjoying the experience off winning the CIS Cup with the Edinburgh club, manager John Collins accepts that Brown will still probably leave the club during the summer transfer window. Brown was expeted to be part of a double leaving act in January with friend Kevin Thomson, who joined Rangers. Despite handing in a written transer request, which was dismissed by ythe club, Brown decided to stay with Hibs and was rewarded on Sunday when they won the CIS Cup final against Kilmarnock. However, Collins is not confident his star man will remain at the club for that much longer. The Hibs manager went on to say that Brown will be the only big name allowed to leave Easter Road in the summer despite players such as Lewis Stevenson, Steven Whittaker and Steven Fletcher linked with a move away. Collins said: "Scotty will go, probably in the summer. It's not definite, but if the right offer comes in, Scotty will go in the summer. All these other boys are on long contracts. So we won't be selling anybody else in the summer, that's for sure." | |||
