According to JC on Radio Scotland. He says it is very unlikely that Chris Killen will be at Hibs next season, and he is now looking for another striker. Also reported on teletext ITV.

Chris Killen was an excellent signing by our previous manager Tony Mowbray, and has scored many goals for us. I know he has been injured a lot, but playing in theposition he does means he is always going to be vulnerable to injuries. We have missed his physical prescence and goal threat a lot since his injury in January, and we badly need to replace him with a similar type of player. If Collins wants to continue with the 4-3-3 system which was working very well for us up until Killen's injury, we need to bring in someone who can perform a similar role to Killen in the team. We have not been anything like as good since Collins was forced to revert back to a 4-4-2 formation.

Thanks for the goals Chris, and all the best for the future.
