Josh Doig addresses Hibs transfer interest as in demand star reveals his golden rule

Hibs star Josh Doig insists he's learning to shut out transfer talk.

Record Sport revealed earlier this week that Serie A side Sassuolo were at Pittodrie to watch the left-back as Shaun Maloney 's side lost 3-1 to Aberdeen.

The 19-year-old also attracted interest from English Premier League clubs Arsenal, Leeds and Watford last summer but remained in Leith and in November signed a new Hibs deal that runs until the summer of 2026.

Doig, on Euro 2023 qualifying duty with Scotland Under-21s where he will face Turkey at Tynecastle on Friday night before a trip to Kazakhstan next week, said: "I am kind of getting used to it, I have learned from the summer when I let it distract me a little bit.

"I am ignoring it and getting on with the football.

"Don't look at anything, Twitter, Instagram, stay away from it all, just play your football, at the end of the day, that's what will get you your move in the end.

"You have your family, your pals, telling you all sorts of things.
