Last updated : 17 August 2016 By Steve Forbes

Hibs have today confirmed the signing of Birmingham City midfielder Andrew Shinnie.

The Hibees are still waiting on international clearance for the attacking midfielder, but that should be a formality.

Shinnie, 27, has signed on loan until the end of the season, and becomes Neil Lennon's fourth summer signing, following the arrivals of Grant Holt, Ross Laidlaw & Ofir Marciano.

Speaking to the official club website, the former Rangers and ICT man said:

“I was here in pre-season and I took part in the game and Hibs played very well that day. The stadium was lovely, the pitch was great and I got good vibes from it.

“I played here before from my past days in Scotland. I know how big a club this is, how big the fanbase is and a lot of factors came into account.”

An excellent piece of business by the club, and Lennon is hopeful of landing another 2-3 players before the window closes..
