Kris Commons joins Hibernian on emergency loan

KRIS Commons has joined Hibernian on an emergency loan, linking up with his former Celtic manager, Neil Lennon, who's in charge of the Championship side. 

The 33-year-old midfielder will provide midfield cover for the Easter Road side until January 15, 2017, and speaking to the official Hibernian website today, he said: “It has come about very quickly, but I think it makes sense on both parts. I can try to get some football under my belt and give Hibs a helping hand as well.

“As much as I am trying to help Hibs, the club are trying to help me out a lot, so I’m grateful to them for giving me the opportunity to play football. I’m also thoroughly looking forward to hopefully helping them on the way and putting on the jersey and doing my best.”

Everyone at Celtic wishes Kris all the best during his loan spell at Hibernian.
