Scott Allan ‘is staying at Hibs’ - Alan Stubbs

Hibernian manager Alan Stubbs has insisted that the club holds all the aces when it comes to prized midfielder Scott Allan.

The Championship Player of the Year has been linked with a summer move and both Premiership champions Celtic and Hibs’ league rivals Rangers have been credited with an interest, but the Easter Road boss believes that they can repel any advances that do come along.

Stubbs said that negotiations were ongoing to tie up Allan on a longer-term deal, but said that if those discussions were to stall he would be comfortable with the notion of the player seeing out his contract and leaving for nothing at the end of the campaign. (The Scotsman)

Sunderland to offer Steven Fletcher to Celtic

Sunderland could be set to offer Steven Fletcher to Celtic in a cut-price deal in order to help fund their move for Moussa Sow.

The Black Cats are keen on the Fenerbache forward and Fletcher’s place in the squad will be in serious jeopardy if a deal could be made.

Celtic have been linked with the Scottish international for some time, though assistant boss John Collins has stated the club are unlikely to land the player due to his high wages. (The Sun)
