Ryan Porteous has issued what appears to be a cheeky response to Greg Docherty’s Instagram post by suggesting that the Rangers loanee suits green after the midfielder’s latest display.

The 23-year-old has now scored three goals and contributed a number of assists for Jack Ross’s side. The latest goal and assist came on Friday night.

Hibs beat Inverness Caledonian Thistle 5-2 in the quarter-final of the Scottish Cup.

Porteous is no stranger to enraging the Rangers fans. In December 2018, he was booked for a poor challenge on Lassana Coulibaly.

Nearly one year later, he was sent off for another bad challenge, this time on Borna Barisic.

Of course, he may argue that he is simply making a point that Hibs should be looking to make Docherty’s move permanent.

And based on his current form, you could certainly understand why Hibs may be tempted to try their luck this summer.

But it seems difficult to imagine Porteous not being aware of why this particular comment may not go down too well at all with the Rangers fans.
