Aiden McGeady finalised his return to Scottish football with Hibs and said he was back to challenge Celtic and Rangers for silverware. The former Hoops winger has signed a one-year contract and becomes Lee Johnson’s eighth summer recruit as the new boss puts his stamp on the Easter Road squad.
Free agent McGeady, 36, passed a medical on Friday before penning a deal to reunite with his former Sunderland boss Johnson. And he reckons Hibs is the perfect fit - not least because the former Ireland and Hoops hero is back wearing green and white.
He said: “I’m absolutely delighted to be here. As soon as I spoke to Lee Johnson it was an absolute no-brainer for me. I always had it in the back of my mind that I wanted to come back to Scotland. Especially after Sunderland, to be honest I don’t think there could have been a better fit. It has always been a club that I have had slight affiliation towards, I don’t know why.
