Hibs are hoping to have Aiden McGeady on board when they they head to Portugal for their pre-season training camp on Sunday. Record Sport understands the Easter Road club are pushing to get a deal for the Ireland international over the line this weekend to make the veteran winger Lee Johnson’s latest summer recruit.
McGeady is set to have a medical and barring any glitches will team up again with his former boss after his contract ran out at Sunderland. Johnson believes the 36-year-old can provide the magic to unlock defences which was badly missing in the second half of last season as Hibs finished a miserable eighth.
McGeady could form part of a new-look Hibs frontline including fellow winger Jair Tavares who arrived from Benfica B last week and striker Momodou Bojang who has joined on loan from Rainbow FC. The 93-times capped former Ireland ace adds huge experience after six years with Celtic, four years in Russia with Spartak Moscow, three years at Everton and the last five years at Sunderland.
