New Hibs signing Aiden McGeady has revealed he gave boss Lee Johnson a 'nudge' when the job came up. The winger has worked with Johnson previously during his time at Sunderland, and he was keen for the gaffer to fill the Easter Road vacancy.
Before the new Hibees boss was even in charge, McGeady's move to the capital was in the pipeline, according to the player. Speaking to Johnson before his appointment, the two discussed the potential reunion and things seemed to fall perfectly into player for the ex- Celtic man when his old pal was announced as Sean Maloney's replacement this summer.
The 36-year-old says that he has always been keen to make a return to Scottish football as his career neared an end, with a move to the capital an ideal fit for him. The ex-Republic of Ireland international's Hibs deal looks to fit the bill of right place, right time and more importantly right people with the arrival of Johnson this summer.
