Kevin James McCann (born September 11, 1987 in Glasgow) is a Scottish footballer who currently plays for Hibernian in the Scottish Premier League.

McCann is a right full-back who can also play in a defensive midfield role. He made his Hibs debut in a Scottish Cup tie at Aberdeen on January 10, 2007^[1]. He has stayed in the first team squad since then and he appeared as a late substitute in Hibs' victory in the 2007 Scottish League Cup Final against Kilmarnock.

After the sale of Hibs' first choice right full-back Steven Whittaker to Rangers during the summer of 2007^[2], it was expected that McCann would regularly play in the Hibs first team^[3]. He was allocated number 2 in the squad list, the number normally given to a right full-back. Hibs manager John Collins, however, signed another right full-back, Thierry Gathuessi, who has played most of the games in that position during the 2007-08 season.

McCann's opportunities have been further limited since the appointment of Mixu Paatelainen as manager^[4]. Paatelainen has also signed another right back (David van Zanten) for the 2008-09 season^[5].

[edit] International football

McCann was called up for the Republic of Ireland under-19s^{[citation needed]} but chose to represent Scotland instead. He has been selected for the Scotland under-21s^[6] since breaking into the Hibs first team.
