Sky sources understand Celtic have had a bid rejected for Hibernian midfielder John McGinn. McGinn, who won the Scottish Cup with Hibernian in 2016, has just one year left on his contract and has been subject of interest from clubs’ in the Premier League in England. |

Yeah he does look really lean. He turned like a 267 when he came back from injury then began to hit his stride again. Hopefully an injury free season and he can leave a hero. |

I'm a tad disappointed we are not going for someone a step up from McGinn. Don't get me wrong I think he's a decent enough player with potential to improve further but in terms of going that step further in Europe it's not what I was hoping for. I honestly can't see him getting in the team and one could argue we're weaker by letting Armstrong go and bringing in McGinn. Edited by Parky, 3 Jul 2018, 12:33 AM.

You could argue it, but Armstrong did nothing last year and didn't want to be here. McGinn will improve. If we get a good 8 months or so out of him over the piece he'll have matched Armstrong at least. We were never going to sign a 'ready' player when we have Ntcham and Brown there to play most games.

We won't progress in Europe then. We should always be looking to improve. I agree Armstrong was poor last season but if you're asking me who the better player is or who I'd rather in my team I would say Armstrong every day of the week. There's a reason Southampton paid £7m for him. McGinn won't get ahead of Brown or Ntcham. Would he even get a game ahead of McGregor or a fully fit Biton? I'm not convinced he would at this moment. A strange signing for me. |

He'll be off to Sunderland before then. I think the eventual price will be determined by how much another club will be willing to pay for him and whether we're prepared to get close enough to that for the player's personal preference to matter. If we want him we're going to have to get him this window. Unless Hibs are offered stupid money from an English club, he'll be a Celtic player by the end of the summer. |

NO DEAL Hibs reject £1.5m bid from Celtic for Scotland star John McGinn THE Hoops are looking to land the 23-year-old as a replacement for Stuart Armstrong who joined Premier League side Southampton but the Hibees are holding out for more cash. https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/ |

Happy enough that we are pursuing McGinn. Replacing one central midfielder we bought from a Scottish club with another. I don’t get the posts saying he won’t improve us, maybe not in the CL but not every signing needs to. Our league form last season can be improved upon. He’s 23 and despite not being a youngster he’s hardly the finished article. He’s played in the first teams for Hibs and St Mirren for around 5 years. Won the Scottish and league cup and the Championship. So clearly picked up a winning mentality. A mentality that Armstrong admitted it took him a while to develop. Has the attributes to be a really good player for us. Might surprise a few. Get it done Celtic. Edited by Haitch, 3 Jul 2018, 08:04 AM.

Reckon Hibs will deal for around £2.5-£3million plus Scott Allan which for me is a very fair price considering he’s last year of contract. Be a good addition who will get better and better. |

2 plus Allan. Should do it. I'd be wary of going above that. |
