Departing Hibs star Kevin Nisbet has stated that he is 'delighted' to get his Millwall move over the line after failing to join the Lions in January.
Nisbet had been one of Hibs' shining lights throughout the past few seasons, and alongside Ryan Porteous and Josh Doig, he was always tipped to be the player who would bring in the most money to boost the club's coffers.
And, after joining Millwall in a £2.4million deal, the former Raith Rovers bagsman has spoken of his desire to hit the ground running - adding that he boasts a 'winning mentality.

He told Millwall TV: “I’m delighted. I was going to come in January and I felt it was maybe a bit too soon after my injury.
“The club are long-term admirers and I’m glad to get it done now. As soon as I spoke to the gaffer I knew I wanted to come here. If it wasn’t January it was definitely going to be the summer.
“I’m a winner. I like to win games and I like to get the fans onside as quickly as possible in games – winning tackles and winning headers. I think the fans will be delighted to see me here.
“I kept a close eye on it (Millwall’s finish to the last campaign). They were very unlucky on the final day of the season. It is about pushing for the play-offs this year.”
