Watch as Hibs look to 'rule the cinch' with brilliant Jota signing parody for Dylan Levitt capture

Scottish football rarely disappoints, and Hibs stepped up for their latest signing announcement with a brilliant parody as they welcomed Dylan Levitt to Easter Road.

The Dundee United youngster makes the switch to the capital in time for the Hibees' European qualifiers, and for his unveiling the club decided to get creative. Al-Ittihad's bizarre announcement when they signed Jota from Celtic on Monday was widely mocked and considered to be one of the strangest unveilings ever seen.

The video showed former Wolves bboss Nuno Espirito Santo as an animated character selection Jota out of a pack of cards which included the likes of Kyogo, Albian Ajeti, and others from the squad.

It also contains footage from the Grand Theft Auto V game, before ending with Santo saying he wants to rule the world in what was quite frankly a video as bizarre as they come.

Hibs decided to change things up, replacing the video game footage with Forza Horizon 4 driving around the centre of Edinburgh, and with a deck of cards including Steven Fletcher, Jamie McGrath, Charlie Mulgrew and Ilmari Niskanen.

Levitt is then selected from the pack, before the video ends with the character asking what they want to do with a Hibs badge over the face of Santo, before he responds "We want to rule the cinch."

The video was swiftly shared around by Hibs fans within minutes of going live, with many Hibees quick to praise the club for their efforts. Watch the video in full below.
