Double Celebrations At Easter Road
Two bits of good news for the Hibees Hibs received a double boost on Thursday as Danny Galbraith signed a new contract and Francis Dickoh won his wrongful dismissal appeal. Former Manchester United youngster Galbraith has signed a deal which will see him staying at Easter Road until the summer of 2013. The second bit of good news is that Dickoh is free to play in Sunday's game at St Mirren Park after his red card against Kilmarnock was overturned. The Ghanaian defender was sent off by Steve Conroy when he conceded a penalty for a challenge on Kieran Agard during Hibs' 2-1 home win on Saturday. Dickoh claimed he had won the ball before bringing down Agard and the SFA upheld his appeal. Meanwhile, Galbraith is keen to repay the faith shown by manager Colin Calderwood for handing him the extended contract. Galbraith said: "I'm really pleased to have signed a new contract with Hibernian and now I want to repay the manager and also show the fans what I am capable of on a regular basis. It gives you a boost when you get recognition from the manager and I'm really excited about what I can achieve at Hibernian over the next couple of years. It gives me the time to keep progressing and developing at the club. Hibernian is the best place for me to be and I'm grateful to the club for giving me a chance to rebuild my career after my injury problems. I just want to build on what I've achieved this season and to help the club compete at the highest level." Calderwood added: "Danny has impressed me with both his ability and his work ethic; he is determined to improve. That desire to learn and to develop certainly bodes well for his future and also for Hibernian. He is a valued member of the squad and has already shown he is a match-winner."
