Gray says loan Bhoy's character can light up Leith

DAVID GRAY insists seeing Kwon Hyeok-kyu strut his stuff in a Hibs jersey will be worth the wait after claiming he can have a huge impact on and off the pitch.

The South Korean midfielder, 23, joined on Tuesday on a season-long loan from Celtic but is not available to make his debut against his parent club in Sunday's Premier Sports Cup last-16 clash.

Gray was impressed by the youngster during his stint at St Mirren last season.

And the 36-year-old is adamant Kwon's character is just as important as what he can do with the ball as the Easter Road boss attempts to get their season up and running after back-to-back league losses without scoring a goal.
