Terry Butcher will be presented as the new manager of Scottish Premiership side Hibernian later today.

A compensation package with Butcher's current club Inverness Caledonian Thistle was agreed yesterday and the former England defender will bring assistant Maurice Malpas, who is expected to join him at Easter Road.

 


Butcher's Inverness side currently sit second in the Scottish Premiership and beat Hibernian 2-0 at the weekend, with the manager watching from the stands.

"We are grateful to Inverness Caledonian Thistle for the professional and courteous way in which the discussions between the clubs have been conducted", Hibernian chairman Rod Petrie was quoted as saying by the BBC.
