Hibernian sporting director Malky Mackay believes another loan move for Oscar MacIntyre can further develop his career.
The 19-year-old defender has joined Peter Murphy’s Queen of the South for the 2024-25 season.
MacIntyre came through Hibs’ academy, making his senior first-team debut in May 2022.
The full-back spent the 2023-24 campaign initially out on loan at Queen of the South, before moving to Annan Athletic – managed by Murphy – for the second half of the season.
Mackay told the club’s official website: “This is a good move for Oscar, playing in a competitive league that he knows well.
“The fact that he has worked with their manager (Peter Murphy) before is a positive and shows that he holds Oscar in high regard.
“This will give Oscar a good platform to build from and we are hoping he can kick on again this season.”
