Anyone know if it’s likely he will get a chance in the first team next season?
I remember Neil Lennon talking him up a lot last season and he has always performed well imo when played.
Had two successful loan spells with Forfar and Arbroath and even won young player of the year for the latter this season.

Would love to see him make the step up. Great wee player who Lennon could mould into a fantastic one.

I wish the lad well, but there is a chasm between playing for Forfar and Arbroath and playing for the current Hibs side.
Neil Lennon, I'm sure, will be following his progress and development, as he does with all our younger players.
At the end of the day if he is good enough he will be recognised and rewarded accordingly.

Any idea when his contract is up? As a previous poster says its a massive jump from Arbroath to starting with Hibs. Would be interested to see him on loan at an upper level Championship team for next season - potentially even a lower half Premier team?

It’s next season or never for Scott in my opinion, he’s just turned 21

According to this article he'll still have 2 years left on his deal

I'd say it's probably now or never with Mcgeouch leaving and McGinn likely to be leaving too.
Could be a big year for him.

Nowt wrong with that, he just needs to control it, Stevenson is another who "hates" a tackle but very seldom does he get booked, I've always liked what I've seen of Martin. Maybe he's been challenged by Lennon to focus himself which he sees to have done on loan recently, great opportunity to stake a claim for 1st team football.

For me Scott Martin would be a good shout to anchor the midfield. Homegrown and desperate to prove himself. Give him a chance.

We are going to need to rebuild the side to even maintain what we did this year. Harsh as it might sound, I’m not sure that Scott Martin who has been playing in league one will help us do that. I think he’s past the promising youngster stage.

One of the problems of Scottish football over the years, is the number of players released too early because of their size
Neil likes Martin, so I’m sure he’ll get a chance pre season, then it’s up to Scotty

Assuming we sign Malallan and retain our other centre midfielders, I reckon our pecking order would look something like this:
Attacking/creative CMs
1. Allan
2. Mallan
3. Slivka
4. Swanson
5. F. Murray
Holding/defensive CMs
1. Whittaker
2. Bartley
3. Martin
Potentially a couple injuries/suspensions away from Martin getting in, but I have a feeling Lennon will either sign another holding CM to replace McGeouch or play 5-3-2 with three attacking mids. Martin will certainly have to "make it" this season, Fraser Murray has a while yet.

I've only seen Martin a couple times, but every time he seemed a tenacious midfielder, who gave 100% and never shirked out of a tackle. Could be useful next season, but we'll see come preseason if he's in Lenny's plans

He needs to train like it’s his last chance. Forget about a holiday with the boys. 10 days rest than hit the gym. He will only get in if he’s fitter than the rest.

I very much doubt if Scotty will make it to the 1st team . If Porteous was MOTM against Rangers then dropped the following week then what chance has the lad got. It's a harsh reality but Hibs youth policy is basically a waste of time.

I have no inside knowledge or anything like that but I would be surprised if Scott Martin makes it at Hibs. He is 21 and has barely any first team experience. I understand it will have been difficult for anyone to break into our midfield over the past few seasons but that's just my feelings on this.
I would be delighted to be proved wrong.

Potential isn't getting them regular 1st team football. Personally I'd have had Porteous in the team more often but it doesn't matter how good he is a senior player will never be dropped for a youth player. Eddie May will dangle the carrot in front of these young lads but as I said the harsh reality is they will seldom make it.

Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

Saw him play for Arbroath a month ago and whilst he looked alright he didn’t stand out at that level
