Why it matters for Hibernian
Mulligan's attitude has caught the eye of key men at Hibernian, who are impressed by his ability to deal with transfer speculation. Newell said, "Josh is the kind of guy that I'm sure if you asked him he'd be like, 'not bothered, don't care, just want to play football'. He's a really good boy, but he's a good trainer. He wants to play all the time."
What comes next?
Despite the noise surrounding Mulligan's future, he has remained an integral part of the Hibernian midfield. Newell continued, "You see him every time he plays; he gives 100 per cent, doesn't he? I'm sure whatever's going on, not that I know anything, if anything at all is going, but it won't faze him, it won't stop him playing well for us, that's for sure."
