Porteous uploaded an official Hibs image of himself at the club’s East Mains training base. Though it was liked by over 1,860 fans, Boyle decided to have some fun with the 21-year-old, comparing him unfavourably to Efe Ambrose.

The Nigerian centre-back was a firm favourite during his two-year spell with the Leith club before leaving in January 2019.
