CELTIC have been linked with John McGinn for the last 18-months but are they finally about to pull the trigger now they have a valuable bargaining chip in the form of Scott Allan?

Allan has spent the second half of the season on loan to Neil Lennon’s side and has had a real positive impact on the team.

Hibernian are reluctant to sell their best player, McGinn on the cheap but cash plus Allan could tip the scales in Celtic’s favour if Rodgers is desperate to land John if reports are to be believed.

The Hibs midfielder has joined James Forrest and Scott Brown as nominees for PFA Player of the year after having a breakthrough season in the SPFL.

Many Celtic fans seem tired of the player being constantly linked with the club and the comparisons to Scott Brown – McGinn said himself earlier this week that he is a different player to Broony and didn’t welcome the comparison.

Would you be in favour of Celtic moving for the Hibs Ace?
