Hibernian have spoken to former Barnsley and Leeds boss Paul Heckingbottom regarding their vacant head coach position, Sky Sports News understands.

The 41-year-old is currently out of work after leaving Elland Road in June 2018 after less than four months in charge.

Hibs are searching for a new head coach after the departure of Neil Lennon last week.

The former Celtic boss was suspended, which Sky sources understand came as a result of a heated team meeting.
