Hibernian have added tenacity and "pedigree" to their squad by signing wing-back Felix Passlack from Bochum on a deal until the summer of 2029, says head coach David Gray. The 27-year-old has arrived for an undisclosed fee and made 67 Bochum appearances after joining from Borussia Dortmund in 2023. His previous clubs include Hoffenheim, Norwich City and Fortuna Sittard, all loan spells from Dortmund.

Everyone knows about my association with this magnificent club and how much Hibs means to me. This moment is certainly up there with one of the proudest moments in my career.

After all the shenanigans with Uefa, Crystal Palace are now ready to make their debut in a major European competition, albeit the lesser Conference League. Palace have been involved in Europe before but only in minor competitions three entries into the Anglo-Italian Cup and the long-forgotten 1998 Intertoto Cup campaign in which they lost 4-0 on aggregate to the Turkish club Samsunspor, who are back in Europe this season after a 27-year hiatus.

Hibernian are in advanced talks to sign Scotland defender Grant Hanley, who was released by Birmingham City after a short-term deal expired.

Sunderland is set for an active transfer market, with players both leaving and joining, highlighted by Jobe Bellingham's move to Dortmund and Nectar Triantis likely to Hibernian.
