Hibs are on the verge of selling key duo Kevin Nisbet and Ryan Porteous.

The Easter Road side have struggled under manager Lee Johnson and now look to see out the season without two of their main assets.

Millwall have had an offer of over £2million accepted for Nisbet, who has scored seven goals in six appearances since his return from injury.

Dunfermline Athletic are set for a significant windfall after inserting a percentage sell-on clause in the deal to take him to Hibs in 2020.

Defender Ryan Porteous is also closing in on a move to England.

The 23-year old is expected to move to Watford in a deal worth around £400,000.

The Scotland international came through the youth academy at the club and has gone on to make more than 150 apperances.

Lee Johnson's side have decided to cash in this month as his current contract was due to expire at the end of the season.

Hibs have won just two of their last 10 matches in all competitions and sit sixth in the Scottish Premiership.

They face Aberdeen in a crucial match at Easter Road on Saturday.
