One of our own.
Regarded as one of the brightest young talents in Scottish football, Academy graduate Ryan Porteous has made the step from rookie to regular look easy.
The ball-playing, dominant centre-back - who celebrated his first senior Scotland call-up in November 2019 - is another who grew up a Hibee and is now living the dream.
Mentored by sporting icon - and Hibernian supporter - Andy Murray, Ryan is already well on the way to emulating the Easter Road heroes he once looked up to.
đ Academy graduate Ryan Porteous continues to impress in the heart of defence.
