Mckinnon’s joy over deal for Buaben

Falkirk manager Ray Mckinnon has hailed Prince Buaben’s “experience and pedigree” after snapping up the former Hearts and Dundee United midfielder on a shortterm deal.

The out-of-contract 30-year-old has penned an agreement until January after being without a club since being released by Hearts in the summer.

Theghanainternationalist spent four years at Tynecastle and another four at United, during which time he lifted the Scottish Cup.

Mckinnon said: “I am really pleased to welcome Prince to our squad. Prince is a player that we have had in our thoughts for some time now. His experience and pedigree speaks for himself and he will make a positive impact.”
