Darren McGregor, the former Rangers defender, has completed his move to Championship rivals Hibernian.

The 30-year-old, who left the Ibrox club by mutual consent on Monday, has penned a two year deal with the Edinburgh side he supported as a boy

Speaking to hibernianfc.co.uk, McGregor said: “I’m absolutely delighted to sign for Hibs – it’s a dream come true for me to play for the club.

“I’ve supported Hibs my whole life, so to now get the opportunity to sign for the club is brilliant.

“I enjoyed my time with Rangers and now that has ended I’m really excited about starting the next chapter of my career at my club and helping Hibs to challenge for promotion.”

Alan Stubbs, the Hibs head coach, says he is delighted to be able to add the experienced centre-half to the squad.

Stubbs added: “We’re delighted to be able to welcome Darren into the group – his arrival provides real competition for places.

“He has always played well against us and he is strong, experienced player and a good professional.

"We're always looking to strengthen the squad and the arrival of Darren will do exactly that.

“The fact that he is also a lifelong Hibs supporter is great and this move provides him with the opportunity to fulfil the dream of playing for his team.”
