Hibs chairman Rod Petrie remains adamant that midfield duo Scott Brown and Kevin Thomson will not be allowed to leave the club in the January transfer window.
Charlton Athletic had a £3million bid for the pair rejected by the Easter Road club, who have also refused to renegotiate Brown and Thomson's contracts, which were only agreed in March.
Petrie said: "Everyone knows we are entering an important run of games over the festive period.
"We are one of the teams competing at the upper end of what is a very competitive SPL.
"We are also about to embark on our Tennent's Scottish Cup campaign and have a CIS Insurance Cup semi-final to look forward to at the end of January.
"Both Kevin and Scott have an important contribution to make to the club's success in each of these competitions."
