Meshino told the reporters that he was anxious to get the season-long loan move from Manchester City over the line so he could start playing.

He said: “For one week, two weeks I couldn’t sleep! The wait was killing me. For those two weeks, because we had to get the work permit, get the passport, I wanted to come to Edinburgh every day. Finally I’m here.”

Levein noted that he could be a surprise inclusion against Hamilton.
