Paul McGinn in Hibs exit admission as new Motherwell recruit looks for a fresh start at Fir Park

New Motherwell recruit Paul McGinn insists there’s no point being bitter over his shock Hibs exit.

The versatile defender looked set for another year at Easter Road after Leith chiefs took up an option to extend his contract. But that decision was quickly reversed by new boss Lee Johnson, who warned the 31-year-old he’d be looking at a bit-part role if he stayed in Edinburgh.

McGinn, though, insists he’s not one to hold grudges and is now looking forward to a fresh start at Fir Park having been offered a 12-month deal by Well gaffer Graham Alexander. The Scotland cap told Record Sport : “The new manager at Hibs came in. We had a chat and he said I was a good player but I’d be starting down the pecking order. That’s his decision but at my age I don’t want to be having to fight my way into a team, I want to be playing all the time.
