Hibernian will keep a close eye on Thibault Klidje during his loan spell in Denmark, with the club hopeful the striker can play a major role at Easter Road next season.
The club's record transfer, 24, joined FC Randers on loan until the end of the campaign after struggling since his £1m summer move from Luzern in July.
Klidje has made 19 Premiership appearances, seven in the starting XI, and scored three goals.
Klidje was not in the matchday squad for Sunday's goalless draw with Rangers , and has moved to the Danish Superliga for the rest of the season.
“Bringing a freshness to the second half of the season.”

Speaking to Hibs TV, sporting director Malky Mackay insists the club have a plan for the frontman's progress in the capital, and hope to see him back firing in the summer.
"Yeah, Thibault again, you know, obviously the transfer price is the headline act but he is a young player and he needs minutes and he needs experience and he needs to keep growing as a footballer," Mackay told the club's in-house media channel.
"We just felt over the next few months going out to the Danish Super League and being part of that will give him more minutes, will give him more experience and consistency is something that he needs to keep working at and going out there and getting game time between now and the summer.
"I hope to welcome him back here ready to go next season. I look forward to going out to Randers to see him.
"He's a great kid and has shown in flashes that he's, in every game I've watched him, he ends up either scoring a goal, setting up a goal or he's some sort of threat towards the goals.

"That consistency is something that he needs to keep working at and going out there and getting game time between now and the summer.
"I hope to welcome him back here ready to go next season and in the meantime, as I say, I'll be going out to make sure that we stay in touch and he's okay over there and I go and watch Randers.
"We've got a plan for him and that's really the main thing about it. We've got to make sure that with all of these players, there's a reason why they're in the first team, there's a reason why they're actually coming through or what we're doing with them over the next couple of years."
