Derek Riordan will be allowed to leave Hibernian for free in the summer according to reports.
The 28-year old former Celtic striker has been asked to take a huge pay-cut to remain at Easter Road but it is understood he wants away and will depart at the end of the season.
Riordan has scored 10 goals in the league this season so will be a huge loss to Hibs who have also told loanee Darryl Duffy that he will have to head back to Bristol Rovers.
