“I’m really pleased to have joined the club,” the 23-year-old told Villa’s official website.

“I’ve already visited Villa Park and the training ground and the set-up is incredible.

“The last 24 hours have been a bit of a whirlwind with so much going on but I can’t wait to take part in my first training session and make my debut.”

McGinn began his career at St Mirren before moving to Hibs in 2015. He has so far been capped nine times for Scotland.

Celtic were also reportedly interested in McGinn, but he has opted to move to the Championship instead.
