McTominay linked

Celtic have been linked with a loan move for Manchester United midfielder Scott McTominay.

According to The Daily Mail, the Scotland international is being eyed as a possible January incoming by Brendan Rodgers.

McTominay is a bit-part player for the Red Devils, and has made seven Premier League appearance, but none under caretaker manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

Any move could potentially hinge on what happens with Marouane Fellaini.#

Allan seals Hibs return

Scott Allan will return to Hibernian at the end of the season.

The Hoops midfielder has signed a pre-contract agreement, and will bring to an end what will be four years at Parkhead.

Allan has only made 13 appearances for Celtic, having been on three different loan spells with Rotherham United, Dundee and Hibs.

He hasn’t made any appearances this season and will rejoin his former club on conclusion of the 2018/19 season.

Rodgers expects transfer activity

Brendan Rodgers believes Celtic could be busy between now and the end of the transfer window.

The Irishman has already secured deals for Oliver Burke, Timothy Weah and Vakoun Issouf Bayo this month.

It is being widely reported that American defender Andrew Gutman could be the next incoming at Parkhead.

Rodgers said, as quoted by Sky Sports: “There will be movement both ways between now and the end of the window.

“We have a big squad and players want to play. There will be players that go out to find game time. The fixture list will lighten over the second part of the season.Hopefully  we can do some more business as well.”
