BARKER FOR HIBS?

Just a rumour, but the suggestion is that Rangers winger Brandon Barker could be a target for Hibs boss Shaun Maloney. That’s according to BBC reporter Raman Bhardwaj. He is a forgotten man at Ibrox. He joined Rangers in 2019 but has made just one squad this season and will be a free agent in June. Was sent to Oxford United on loan last season

GOGIG TALKS

Alex Gogic ooks set to leave Hibs with just months remaining on his deal. He is in talks with St Mirren as the Paisley club look to push through another deadline day move.

The 27-year-old has featured just once under Shaun Maloney - coming off the bench in the 1-0 win over Aberdeen last month.

Saints boss Jim Goodwin has already signed Jordan Jones on loan from Wigan today.

Alex is one I have been interested in for a few windows.

There’s still hours to go in the window and if something can be done then we will see.

He is one of two or three we are looking at.
