Hibs is set to loan Rudi Molotnikov, a 20-year-old Scottish attacking midfielder, to Arbroath, where he will be joined by teammate Jacob MacIntyre. Manager David Gray rates the Scotland under-19 cap highly and wants him to gain more first-team exposure, believing that playing weekly in the Championship will be beneficial for his development. Molotnikov, who previously had a loan spell at Stirling Albion, is expected to join on a deal that will likely run until January initially. It is reported that Arbroath's track record for developing young Premiership talent helped them secure the Hibs pair. His contract with Hibernian is set to expire on 31/05/2029 and his current market value is €400k, according to Transfermarkt.
