Scott Bain moves to Hibs on loan for the rest of the season

Published 1st Jan 2018

Hibernian have completed the signing of goalkeeper Scott Bain from Dundee.

Dundee revealed Bain had joined Hibs on loan until the end of the season.

The 26-year-old is out of contract at Dens Park in the summer and had indicated he was keen to move on before a fall-out with manager Neil McCann saw him sidelined during the last two months.

The Scotland squad player will provide competition for Ofir Marciano after Ross Laidlaw underwent shoulder surgery.

He told his new club's official website: `I am delighted to be joining up with Neil Lennon's squad. From the outside looking in the side have had a fantastic first half of the season, and I hope to help them build on that in 2018.

`It's a strong group of players and I am excited about meeting everyone in Portugal for the training camp. Hopefully I can hit the ground running and force my way into the manager's thoughts.'

Edinburgh-born Bain came through the youth ranks at Aberdeen before Paul Hartley took him to Alloa and then Dens Park.
