Former Rangers, Hearts and St Mirren goalkeeper Scott Gallacher has joined Hibs on a deal until the end of the season.
The 27 year old has spent the first half of the current campaign at St Mirren, and will act as competition for Ofir Marciano and Ross Laidlaw following the departure of Otso Virtanen in January.
Scott trained with his new team mates on Thursday and has now put pen to paper on a short-term deal.
Gallacher told Hibs TV: “It’s absolutely fantastic to join Hibs and it’s a great opportunity for me and I’m ready to go.
“I’m very excited to come here because it is a massive club.
“The facilities are absolutely fantastic here and we had a good training session.
“Combo’ (Alan Combe) is great and a hard worker so training was of a good standard. I met Ofir (Marciano) and Ross (Laidlaw) today and they seem really good guys.
“It’s good competition for places here and we’re all at a very good standard. It was a good standard out at training. It’s just a short-term deal, so I’ll keep my head down, work hard and see what becomes of it.
“The move came quite fast for me but it was good. The boss is a big character in football and he seems a good guy but someone you don’t want to mess with as he has a bit of steel about him.”
