RYAN PORTEOUS has been offered a new contract by Hibs.
The Scotland call-up is into the final 12-months of his current deal.
He will therefore be free to speak to other clubs come January.
Porteous is a key figure at Easter Road.
The powerful centre-back's performances over the past few seasons have attracted serious interest from Millwall down south, as well as other clubs abroad.
An agreement has yet to be reached, boss Lee Johnson admits.

But a fresh deal is on the table for the talented defender.
Johnson told Sky Sports: "Every squad has moving parts to it and Ryan is a great player.
"We'd love to keep him but at the same time it's his prerogative in terms of that contract offer.
"At the moment he hasn't signed it, but we're forever hopeful."
