Hibernian boss Alan Stubbs has admitted that he is "delighted" to have signed former Rangers defender Darren McGregor.

The 30-year-old moved to Easter Road on Monday, less than 24 hours after leaving the Gers by mutual consent.

Stubbs has backed McGregor to add valuable experience to his squad this season.

"We're delighted to be able to welcome Darren into the group - his arrival provides real competition for places," he told the club's official website. "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."

Hibernian play again on Wednesday when they host Stranraer in the second round of the Scottish League Cup.
