John McGinn has been named Scottish Championship player of the season but believes Neil Lennon could make him an even better player next term. The Hibs midfielder enjoyed a fine campaign at Easter Road after joining from St Mirren last summer, helping the team win the Scottish Cup and reach the League Cup final.His latest accolade comes in a season which also saw him win his first senior international cap in March, putting in a man of the match performance as Scotland beat Denmark 1-0. Hibernians John McGinn has been awarded the Championship Player of the Season Despite their historic Scottish Cup success, Alan Stubbs failed to guide Hibs back to the Premiership and has since elected to take over at Sky Bet Championship side Rotherham.Lennon is interested in becoming the next Hibernian manager, but is seeking assurances over the clubs budget, according to Sky sources.Asked whether it would appeal to play under the former Celtic boss, McGinn was in no doubt and thinks it reflects well on the club that Lennon has shown an interest in the vacancy.Definitely; like the old gaffer, he [Lennon] played at the top level and Im sure he would make me a better player but whoever the board decide, I am interested to see what it would be like and would be keen to learn under them, McGinn told Sky Sports News HQ. Neil Lennon has been linked with the Hibernian job I think it is a big thing for the club that people who have managed at the top level are getting linked with it but whether it is him or someone else, I am sure the board will make the right decision and we are all looking forward to impressing the new manager.The 21-year-old says he is keen for a repeat of the scenes during their Scottish Cup winning parade where thousands lined the streets in the Scottish capital.The scenes you saw on the Sunday in Edinburgh sends out a message of what this club can achieve, the potential it has got and hopefully we can get a tenth of the people who were lining the streets to come on a Saturday and really maximise the potential the clubs got. McGinn made his Scotland debut against Denmark We are desperate in the dressing room to get the club back up to the Premiership and get it flourishing again.McGinn says he remains committed to Hibs, despite the prospect of another season in the Scottish Championship.The Scottish Cup was special and was an amazing day for one part of the city of Edinburgh but making my international debut was on a par. It is something that I didnt expect to happen at the start of the season, he said.I remember sitting in with the gaffer [Stubbs] and he told me he would definitely make me a better player and I was wondering how he could guarantee that but after working with him and the coaching staff, I realised I was getting better and better. McGinn enjoyed a fine debut season at Easter Road I am confident in myself that I can carry it on next season and hopefully improve on this year. I have developed here and in the Championship and have been given opportunities at a higher level from here, so I dont see it being a problem next year and hopefully the opportunities can still come around.Personally it has been brilliant and I think this award tops it off for me. It has been a season full of ups and downs and I am just delighted.

GuerrieriIts a good win because we have had to battle against some really good teams, some tough and well-coached teams. Janet Rayfield is one of the most respected and intellectual coaches out there. That team was good enough to beat us if we dont come out and have a solid night. I was pleased with the way Dani Rice continues to do her thing back there. But as much as anything, Im pleased with the way shes leading the back line. Emily Bates goal was a really pretty one. The first goal by Haley Pounds was won on pure heart, being able to get to a ball that probably wasnt even a 50-50 ball. She was able to beat the keeper to it and put it away.Sophomore defender Margaret SchmidtOn the defense...The defenses goal is always to get a shutout, so we are really happy of course. I thought Dani Rice played one heckuva game. Illinois offense was really strong especially in the first five minutes, so were really pleased to be able to get the shutout.Junior forward Haley PoundsOn the goal...The ball was played into the box and I saw them try to head it back to the keeper. I think they had a little miscommunication that I picked up on. I was able to get my foot on it and put it in the back of the net. The coaches want me to keep pressing the defense so to get a goal off that pressing was good. ' ' '
