Hibs boss Paul Heckingbottom believes head of recruitment Graeme Mathie will stay at Easter Road - despite reported interest from Rangers.
Mathie was recently linked to a post at Ibrox as new Sporting Director Ross Wilson looks to build a new team there.
Kilmarnock have also been credited with an interest in Mathie - a link that has been acknowledged by Heckingbottom.
However the Hibs gaffer doesn’t think his pal will be going anywhere any time soon.
He said: “Graeme has been great while I have been here.
“I’m not saying there isn’t truth in it, there is certainly some truth in the Kilmarnock thing — whether there is in the Rangers one, I don’t know.
“But until things happen or there are decisions to be made, it is pointless worrying about it.
“If people think he is doing a good job and they approach the club, that’s a different matter.
“But it’s not being drummed up in any shape or form for Graeme to get a benefit out of it.
“He loves it here. He wants to work here.”
