[6] In October 2007 Nish rejected Kilmarnock's offer of a new contract which meant that he was able to talk to other clubs from January 2008, with a view to a Bosman transfer in the summer.

[3] Nish soon apologised for those remarks, calling for unity between players and supporters ahead of an important match against Motherwell.

[10] Nish then scored both goals in a 2–0 win at Tannadice Park that secured a UEFA Europa League place for Hibernian.

Early in the 2010–11 season, however, Nish was again the target for criticism from the Hibernian fans, with manager Colin Calderwood expressing his sympathy for the player.

[12] The signings of Akpo Sodje and Ricardo Vaz Tê pushed Nish out of the Hibernian starting eleven and he was advised in April 2011 that his contract would not be renewed.

[17] Nish sustained an injury against Charlton in October 2011 that prevented him from playing for two months, during which time Hartlepool appointed a new manager.

[20] Nish scored two goals for a struggling Dundee team during his initial loan spell, which was extended until the end of the 2012–13 season.

[28] Nish's tenure lasted only one season however, with the club suffering their second successive relegation, this time to Scottish League Two.

[29] After a few years of coaching Hibernian youth and reserve teams, Nish became the manager of Lowland League side Tranent Juniors in September 2022.
