I really rated him a couple of years ago. Don't know if he's still got it, but a 31 year old holding mid usually has a couple of years in his legs.

[Brightside]

A bit of cover.

[calumhibee1]

Could be a good signing. He was very good against us in the game where St Mirren stayed up in the Championship (I think it was that game anyway). He’ll be back up to Gogic I’d imagine.

[Billy Whizz]

I’m happy with this
Only left St Mirren due to injury, and was their captain last season

[04Sauzee]

Ross rates him, gives us cover, probably very low wages. No. Inside info but can reckon Halberg will be moved on

[bigwheel]

Family deal :). Welcome Stephen..and good luck !

[Sheffhibee]

Clever signing from JR, great cover for Gogic and obviously another leader on and off the field. Welcome to Hibs Stephen

Firstly, he is nothing like Gogic as a player. At all.

Second, why is he a leader? Because he captained a gash St Mirren side? Gray, McGregor, Hanlon. Those guys are leaders and cup winners.

Only cup winners can be leaders?
Pretty sure St Mirren fans talk about him being a big factor in him staying up.
Paul played in gash St Mirren team but seems to be doing OK
John was relegated with St Mirren i think?

Can I ask you, do you trust Jack Ross and his signings so far

[Smartie]

When we played without Gogic a few weeks ago we looked lost and many of us have been criticising Hibs for not having a strong enough first choice midfield, let alone cover.

I'd be disappointed if McGinn has been signed to solve all our midfield woes, but I'm very happy indeed to have him on board. He's not going to start every week and be our best player but he'll mean that we aren't petrified every time Gogic goes down with a knock, or picks up a few cards and misses games via suspension.

I take his length of time with us as a positive - he's been there long enough and hasn't looked like he wasn't good enough. He's had a chance to get fit, get up to speed and see how he looks with the rest of the players. Ross has looked so far to be pretty good with the transfers and this is another player he knows well, so I'm happy to trust him on this one.

Paul McGinn has been an unsung hero who is now starting to get the appropriate level of praise that his play merits. If he can do anything like that (and his credentials as a player suggest he should be more than capable) then this could be a great signing.

[Diclonius]

Fair enough. Welcome Stephen!

[The Count]

Happy with the signing.Folk seem to forget its not all about the first 11.We need a squad to cover injuries,suspensions and Covid 19.Its a long season and i dont see McGinn as a first pick but he will be handy for cover.Dont panic i am sure a first team pick will be signed soon.

[hibees 7062]

Mum and dad lined up for the McCourt role

[Northernhibee]

We’ve completed the set!

[EdinMike]

Is there a cousin McGinn that’s next ?! Should be a good addition when called upon.

[AgentDaleCooper]

Come home SJM!!!!

[Unseen work]

Can’t say im overly happy with this but willing to give the benefit of the doubt.

Hes been training with us since we started back up but it’s took us until now to sign him on a 1 year deal? Seems very like we’ve not got who we’ve wanted and this is the back ups back up.

Its not like he was an unknown quantity either and wanted to assess how good he is, he’s been in the league for years and Ross has even managed him.

I imagine he will only ever be used as backup for Gogic however.

Or maybe we wanted to offer him a 1 year deal as cover and he waited to see if someone could offer him regular first team football?

He’s been getting back to full fitness after a serious injury?

Even I know this, and I know nothing.

Get rid of Slivka/Whittaker and bring in Stephen McGinn, ok then

Probably for a fraction of the cost
Slivka said he was offered a new contract but turned it down
Whittaker might get more game time with Dunfermline than he would here. Don't see the problem myself

Aye,I hope he is as bad a signing as his 2 brothers were!!

[MWHIBBIES]

Cant say I'm happy with this. More wages that could go towards real quality. Whittaker is easily a better player than McGinn IMO. So is Slivka. Strange to release both and sign him.

Hopefully he does well. Will have full support from me.

[JammyDoidger]

Feel Absoloutely rotten saying this, as he's a Mcginn. But He's been training with us for about 3 months. And only just been offered a deal now. Says it all. No one else wants him, jack ross doesn't want to see his pal go without a wage. So he makes a role up for him. We've already got Gray and Mcgregor for 'experience and leadership' off the park. This isn't a retirement home. We miss out on Mccrorie and they hit us with this? Away hibs. It's a regular starter we need. If he's on peanuts and it's just a bit of cover fine. But we need a midfielder that's going to walk into the starting line up and drive us on.
