Hibernian chief slams 'patronising' bids for Premier League linked starlet Doig

Hibs sporting director Graeme Mathie is unhappy with what he sees as English clubs attempting to sign their young talent on the cheap

Premier League clubs making "patronising" bids for Hibernian youngster Josh Doig need to show the Scottish Premiership club more respect, according to their sporting director Graeme Mathie.

Doig has been the subject of much transfer speculation this summer, after the 19-year-old left-back hugely impressed in Scotland's top-flight last season.

Arsenal, Watford and West Ham have all been linked, but reports state that none have made bids of more than £2.5 million - only half of Hibs' £5m asking price.
