Hibs midfielder Murray Aiken returns to Airdrie on loan

Hibs midfielder Murray Aiken has joined Airdrieonians on loan until 1 January, 2025. 

Aitken re-joins the Diamonds where he spent the duration of the 2023/24 campaign. 

Last season, the midfielder got off to a great start winning the Club’s Player of the Month Award in September 2023, featuring 18 times in total and helping Airdrieonians reach the play-off semi final. 

The 19-year-old will now return to Rhys McCabe’s side for the first half of the 2024/25 campaign. 

On the loan move, Hibernian FC Sporting Director Malky Mackay commented: “This is another good opportunity for Murray to gain more experience playing senior football at a good level and a club that he knows well. 

“Murray impressed during his first loan spell with Airdrieonians last season, and this is a good chance for him to build on that and get more minutes under his belt between now and the end of the year. 

“I’d like to thank Airdrie for the smooth handling of the loan and we look forward to seeing how he progresses.”
