Martin Boyle has broken his silence on being stripped of the Hibs captaincy. 👀 Easter Road manager Marink Reedijk has taken the armband off Boyle and handed it to Felix Passlack. ❌ 🗣️ He said: “That didn’t affect me one bit.  It didn’t affect me when I was captain and it doesn’t impact me now. It’s completely irrelevant in my eyes. “If I am asked to be the leader on the day or not, it’s not going to change the type of character I am. "It’s certainly not going to change my performances, whoever leads us out. “We have a good leadership group that’s very experienced. "If that’s the way  he wants to go then we need to back him. He pulled me in to tell me and you have to accept it. “Listen, I am not the manager of this club and I don’t make the decisions. “The only thing I can do is let my football do the talking, which I have. “I have been training hard, merited my start at Hampden and I have repaid him. “It was a huge win and I’m delighted for him. “He’s been really positive and now we need to stand up and start getting better results.” 📸 Shutterstock
