Published Date: 01 July 2009

HIBS manager John Hughes believes new signing Patrick Cregg will become a fans' favourite at Easter Road as he strives to earn himself a contract extension.
The 23-year-old followed Hughes from Falkirk to Edinburgh, but has only signed a one-year deal as he feels his performances in a green jersey will ensure Hughes is forced to pull out the stops to make sure he is offered an extension for the following season. Hughes is more than happy with such a scenario as he feels it keeps players on their toes. "I like things to be incentive-based, I want to keep my players hungry as some get a contract and put the tools away," he said.

"To be fair to Patrick, there was another year for him in terms of appearances made in his first season. But it was Patrick who said to give him a year because he believes that by Christmas I'll be wanting him to sign an extension, he has that hunger and determination."

Patrick Cregg - a home-grown, good Scottish lad poet warrier name if ever there was one. How will Yogi fit all these defensive midfielders into the free-flowing flair Hibs have promised their fans in order to shift some more STs? Jones-Murray-Cregg-Bamba-Rankin-Nish... hold me back.

# 2 That will not be Patrick Cregg from Ireland then, if he is home grown. Not great to make such a mistake in the first line of your tosh, but to be fair it set the tone. Your posting started poor and then went downhill after that.

Should football fans be prevented from going to away games?
No it’s only a small minority who are violent and you’ll never stop it.
Yes, the hooliganism must be stamped out.
Maybe but really the police need more resources to tackle the thugs
