He was immense today, a proper quality performance. The way he steps out of defence is so classy, he learned so much playing with Efe and he has a great engine. That run at the end was superb.

Really hope the rumours of a new contract are true
He's our most important player right now. If he stays he's a future captain.
Interesting, though it could be said the 2-1 defeat to Rangers was because of Porteous (I think it was a stitch up though).Quote:

Big test for him on Wednesday where he will be supercharged with The Rangers player trying everything to get him sent off. He is very entertaining to watch as that passion really comes through
would have been great if he had scored, the Saintees fans dont like him :greengrinQuote:

Actually nervous for the whole team after some of the stuff we’ve posted and done since beating them.
They’ll be absolutely desperate to batter us and will come at us 100mph.
There aggression and attacking intent could work in our favour for the counter though.
His endeavour and passion make him such an endearing figure to Hibbies. That run at the end paggering upfield trying to seal the game with a spectacular finish (probably would’ve scored if he’d gone for less effect) just sums this big laddie up. Love him.
Ryan Porteous is the new Scott Brown. Hope he signs a new deal and continues his good work. 👍🇳🇬
I think yer man left his right boot hanging up in the dressing room today :na na:Quote:

Hanlon and Porto are the best non Glasgow CB pairing in Scotland.
His right is as good as my left! :greengrinQuote:

Porteous and Newell for me are the two driving personal on the pitch and the type that constantly communicate and demand more for others.
Captains do far more than the on pitch stuff though.
Let’s him concentrate and develop without that burden.
Mental to think he’s only 22.
I love him, he's everything you want to see when going to watch hibs, right good player, hard, has a bit cheek, stands up for himself, his team mates, proper winner!
That means nothing in terms of him staying any longer with us. It maybe gives us an extra season with him before he moves on for a bigger fee than he would do on a rapidly running out contract. Our insurance policy - the same with Doig etc.Quote:

Do you mean there are issues because he wants more than the captain? Really can’t see how that would be an issue.Quote:
