He has been a superb signing, no nonsense defender, not seen the guy lose a challenge in the air yet. The Rangers will be spewing at this excellent piece of buisness from Hibs.

Him , Fontaine and Hanlon are our best centre half's in years.

Worth noting as well that despite qots having more of the ball than they probably should have they still managed to create absolutely nothing, huge credit to the whole back 4 (5 including oxley) for that.

One of the STV sports journos tweeted last night that he couldnt believe that Rangers deemed McGregor to be surplus to requirements............but kept Kiernan and Wilson !
It was indeed a very very strange set of decisions. Who cares, benefited us !
Just seems such a relaxed defender. If I had one (very minor) criticism, it would be that he should get forward more often - but, hey you cant have everything, eh?

Superb signing.
He is first choice centre half now, straight fight between Hanlon and Fontaine to play alongside him IMO.

He's been a fantastic signing. He just does his job every week. The Huns must be spewing that they let him go especially to us

Couldn't agree more, the guy has been a rock since he signed, which is why I was bloody annoyed yesterday when the crowd were getting on his back for not getting the ball up the park quicker ... the more they did it the worse his distribution got, you could feel his nerves kicking in. He is just the kind of never say die no nonsense defender we are going to rely on at Ibrox, but he isn't bloody Pique and folk need to remember that.
He's been a great signing

For too much of the game we did dither on the ball with it being passed between Fontain, McGregor and Oxley. We miss Hanlon who is better at bringing the ball out than the other two. That said, I'm pretty happy with any two of the three playing.

I'm not suggesting we just punt the ball up the park. But it needed moved forward quicker at times. Not just down to the centre halves, I thought the midfield were poor yesterday as well.

He's one of those players you barely notice is playing as he just does everything with the minimum of fuss. He absolutely strolls through games. How rangers thought he wasn't good enough is beyond me.
United we stand here....

Excellent signing, a good footballer, and a Hibs supporter too.
Darren is like night and day, ability wise, compared to some of the donkeys that have played in defence for Hibs in recent seasons.

Bought a loaf of Warburton's for the first time this week. Was good at first, but went stale quicker than I expected.

McGregor has been excellent but I am puzzled why he isn't paired with Hanlon. Hanlon, imo, was our best centre half for the early part of the season and is by far the best passer between the three of them. They are all more than capable at this level but I think we have missed Hanlon's passing both in terms of accuracy and the speed he uses it. If we play 4 at the back against The Rangers then it would be Hanlon and McGregor in the centre for me. I think we will play all three next Monday though.

I think the three of them are excellent and I couldn't pick the best two, against the Rangers I'd like all three to be playing.

What a great signing Darren has been, the bloke seems so modest and does his job quietly and effectively. Looks like he's loving life back in Leith.

He's one of our own.
Dream as a boy to play for Hibs and got here at last.
100% every week

Great signing. Foster is great young player that hope we keep too. Stubbs knows his stuff no doubt. We have great options and another defender to come in, not sure where coverage is for?

Huns I know are spewing about McGregor leaving and joining us. Even worse when I inform them that they actually paid him to leave.😁
