Kwon Hyeok-kyu Joins Hibernian on Loan

South Korean midfielder Kwon Hyeok-kyu has joined Hibernian on a season-long loan from Celtic, where he had struggled to secure a first-team spot since his arrival from Busan IPark last summer. Kwon impressed during his loan at St Mirren, contributing to their fifth-place finish in the Scottish Premiership, but has yet to make a competitive appearance for Celtic. Hibs manager David Gray praised Kwon's athleticism and versatility in midfield, noting his ability to play both a deeper role and as an attacking midfielder. Although he is ineligible for Hibs' upcoming League Cup match against Celtic, Kwon is expected to debut in the following Premiership game against Dundee. Hibs also expressed gratitude to Celtic for facilitating the smooth transfer process. Kwon will make history as the first Asian player to represent Hibernian in the club's 149-year history.
