creaking/groaning brake/clutch? 850

I have a '94 850 GLT 2.5 manual. I have noticed a strange noise which occurs intermittantly.
When moving off, on reaching the biting point I hear a creaking/groaning noise, which then stops as I lift the clutch. This only happens in first gear, though
I have heard this as well several times when reversing, particularly on a hill.

I suspect it's the clutch, but have had no other signs of clutch wear, and the sound is definitely not there all the time, but seems to start only after several miles when the car is well warmed up.

Is there any way I can test the clutch, or could it be the brakes, as the last thing that happens before moving off is braking to stop.

Any help would be appreciated.
