Hibernian name new captain

Hibernian boss John Hughes has confirmed Chris Hogg as the new captain of the Edinburgh club.

And his first lessons in the art of being skipper came as a 16-year-old working with Jim Magilton at Ipswich.

"Jim Magilton was captain when I was at Ipswich and you can learn a lot from that man," Hogg said.

"The way he went about his business and the way he did things in training, it was all 110% and he wasn't scared to get in your face either.

"I remember training with the first team as a 16-year-old and when you didn't give him the ball at the right pace, he would come up to you and start screaming in your face and so that was a steep learning curve.

"I didn't say anything back to him, you have to respect him and he was a good man for that football club."

Hogg, however, aims to make his mark in the Easter Road dressing room in his own way.

He said: "Everyone handles it differently and I will handle it differently.

"There's times and places for things like that, and there are times for an arm round the shoulder. It's about getting the right balance.

"I will have my own approach but there will be times when I have to get in to people's faces and rile them up but that's something that I do anyway. But everything will be positive."

Hogg added: "It is a great honour for me. I have been four-and-a-half years at the club and I know what it's all about.

"I feel part of the club and I hope to take it forward under the new management team.

"I feel the captain has to be the embodiment of a club so it is a big responsibility."
