After Hibs signed another right back during the 2010 close season (Michael Hart), McCann was loaned to Inverness Caledonian Thistle. McCann impressed in pre-season and started the first three league games. He scored his first goal for Inverness in his second league appearance, "an unstoppable shot into the top corner of the net from 30 yards" in a 4–0 win against Dundee United. McCann returned to Hibs in January 2011 at the end of his loan spell. Inverness manager Terry Butcher commented that he would have been signing McCann again, but he had suffered an injury that would prevent him from playing for up to eight weeks. McCann has not played for Hibs since returning from Inverness and he expected to be released at the end of the 2010–11 season. Hibs confirmed this in late April.
