Hibs midfielder Scott Martin joins Arbroath on loan until mid-January.

Hibernian midfielder Scott Martin has joined Arbroath on loan until mid-January.

The 20 year old joins up with manager Dick Campbell, who was in charge of Forfar when Scott was on loan during the 2015-16 season.

Martin has started eight games and come off the bench on six occasions for the Hibernian first team, making his debut as a 17-year-old against Falkirk in 2014, and has scored once against Montrose in a 3-0 home victory over Montrose in the League Cup.

He was an unused substitute in Tuesday’s victory over Kilmarnock at Rugby Park however his first team chances have been limited due to the strength in depth of the squad.

A club spokesman said: “We would like to wish Scott well with his loan spell.”
