FLORIAN KAMBERI has no future at Hibernian and the sooner he leaves the club the better it will be for all parties, according to Easter Road manager Jack Ross.

The Swiss striker angered sections of the Hibs support with comments he made after joining Rangers on loan last season, and Ross has confirmed that he has burned his bridges with the club as he enters the final year of his contract.

Rangers were believed to be keen to bring the forward back on another loan this term, but Hibs are looking to sell the player rather than let him leave for nothing next summer.

“He remains a Hibs player obviously because he's contracted for another season, but he's not been part of any of our plans for pre-season or played in any games,” Ross said.

“He won't be part of my plans for the season, so we need to find a solution for both parties as soon as possible. The sooner that's done, the better for Florian as a player and for us as a club.”

Ross also hit back at those who have criticised his club for signing players despite wage cuts and job losses in other areas of the backroom staff.

Hibs have so far signed Kevin Nisbet from Dunfermline for a reported fee of £350,000, as well as adding Drey Wright from St Johnstone and Alex Gogic from Hamilton.

“I've had a chuckle when I've read or heard some of the comments about us adding three players to our squad,” he said.

“We lost seven at the end of last season, three out of contract and four returning loans plus if you add Kamberi into that we've lost eight. So, we've lost eight and brought in three, so we are not flush with numbers.

“What that does is allow opportunities for players such as Josh Doig, who has been really good throughout pre-season, and other young players to potentially break through. So that's a positive for the club.

“I'm OK, we accept the situation we are in is more challenging. The squad we have got in place has been terrific for me throughout pre-season.”
