Reports this morning have suggested that Leigh Griffiths could be freed by Celtic this summer with two Scottish Premiership clubs waiting in the wings.
The Scottish Sun say Aberdeen and Hibernian are on stand by to pounce for Griffiths' signature if he is released by the Hoops.
The Scotland international is currently waiting to find out whether he will be offered a one-year contract extension at Parkhead. The report also states that a decision must be made on this deal by April 30.
Celtic captain Scott Brown has already switched to Pittodrie and that could play a part in Griffiths' thinking.
The 35-year-old Hoops captain will relocate to Pittodrie in a player-coach role under new boss Stephen Glass in the summer after 14 success-laden years at Celtic Park where he won 22 trophies.
Celtic are still in search of a new manager after Neil Lennon resigned in February with assistant John Kennedy in temporary charge.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
