Hibs boss John Collins admits they'll be opening new contract talks with striker Mickael Antoine-Curier in the New Year.

"He is very professional so I can only judge him with what I see with my own eyes and what I hear. We'll probably have a look at his contract in January," said Collins.

Antoine-Curier added: "My contract with Hibs is up at the end of the season but I would really love to stay here. My longest stay with any previous club has been two years.

"I haven't spoken to anyone about a new deal yet. I am just grateful to have the chance to show them my ability. I am very happy and will be even happier if I can get an extension to my contract.

"I don't think there will be any talks before December and I'm not thinking about it at the moment. The most important thing is the team, not me."
