CHRIS MUELLER has swotted up on Hibs by watching every game since he signed a pre-contract back in July.
But it's what the American forward learned about Shaun Maloney after tuning into a 12-year-old rerun of an Old Firm match last week that has him buzzing for life in Leith.
He might be short in stature but the man who spent the last three seasons playing in the home of Disney World with Orlando City is big on entertaining just like the former Celtic and Scotland winger.
Mueller hasn't been short of top-level mentors in his career having played alongside former Portugal and Manchester United winger Nani at Orlando.
He just hopes he gets the chance to show off what he's got in his locker on the big stage this evening when Hibs travel to take on Celtic.
Mueller said: “It has been a long wait since I initially signed my pre-contract.
“As soon as I agreed to sign I started to watch as many matches as I could, I was fully invested.
"I have watched every single game since I signed.
"It has helped me see what the team is about and see some of the guys.
“I'm really excited to work with Shaun, I have heard amazing things about him.
