Earlier today Craig told the club website:  “Naturally I’m disappointed to leave Hibernian, but I would like to wish everybody associated with the club all the best for the future.

“The reaction from the crowd at the end of Saturday’s game was absolutely magnificent and I believe Hibernian will now build on the progress made over the course of the season.

“I always wanted to finish on a high at Hibs, but unfortunately that wasn’t to be, nevertheless it’s a special club with great supporters and I was very proud to captain the team.

“There is a good dressing room and coaching staff at the club and I wish Hibs every success going forward.”

Head Coach Alan Stubbs thanked Craig for his contribution and wished him well for the future.

Stubbs said: “I would like to thank Liam for everything he has done for the football club – he is a model professional and has been a great ambassador for Hibernian.
