"His contract's up at the end of the season, but he's enjoying his football at the moment, he likes it here and he's forming a solid defensive partnership with Gary Caldwell."

"Ian is the captain of our football club. If I thought his heart and soul was not with this club then I would have some decisions to make. But at this moment he is doing great and is an integral member of the dressing room."

"I've spoken to (Hibs manager) Tony Mowbray and told him my intention is to leave things until the summer and then weigh up my options. He seems happy with that and he told me I am within my rights to do so."

"The most important thing for me right now is to concentrate on playing well for Hibs. I have not signed anything for anyone. I have spoken to my agent, and the only concrete offer on the table has come from Hibs. I intend to keep my options open, but staying at Easter Road is still an option."

"I don't think it affected me on the pitch, but off it people were always stopping me to ask the question. I knew they wanted to know, but what was I meant to say?"
