Josh Doig is Calvin Ramsay's equal and Hibs should be looking for top dollar - Tam McManus

Aberdeen hit the jackpot with their record sale of Calvin Ramsay to Liverpool but it’s not just Pittodrie that should be echoing to the ka-ching.

That £8m deal - let’s call it £4.5m because that’s what has been banked up front - is further proof that nobody will be cherry picking our best young stars on the cheap any more.

Hibs have been stung in the past. The best example was John McGinn going to Aston Villa for less than £3million a few years back.

One good season there and he was suddenly worth £20m.

But lessons have been learned and I reckon the next big wedge heading to Scotland could be about to land in Leith where Josh Doig is back at the centre of a transfer frenzy.

Bologna, Verona and a host of clubs down south are looking at Hibs’ left back.

And after seeing what Aberdeen have banked in the past few days Easter Road chiefs shouldn’t accept a penny less.

I genuinely don’t think Ramsay is any better than Doig. They are both really, really exciting talents and at 20 the Hibs man has that bit more top team experience under his belt with double the number of games in the top flight.

But he got his head down and after a slow start to last season he was one of Hibs’ most consistent performers for the last four or five months.

Towards the end of the season he looked fitter, stronger and
