McGeady is no stranger to Scottish football and knows the league well, this will be his second spell in Scotland, if it comes off
McGeady grew up in Scotland in Rutherglen, Scotland and played 185 times for Celtic, and won four league titles in 2003–04, 2005–06, 2006–07, and 2007–08.
Lee Johnson the manager of Hibernian said: “I’ve got a strong relationship with Aiden McGeady and he’s a fantastic player,” Johnson told Sky Sports last week.
“Unbelievable. He gets to the corner of the box and often in that situation, there’s an assist, a shot or goal.
“He’s 36-years-old so whether it’s us or anywhere else, he’s got nothing to prove.
“He’s a maverick; a challenging but inspiring character to have in the squad and whoever gets Aiden McGeady, will have an exceptional player.”
