McGinn to Celtic. Allan and (in region of) £1.5m to Hibs. McGinn coming back on loan for next season. This is the deal on the table. As always nothing is a done deal until it is signed.

Makes sense with Armstrong to Southampton.

Makes sense? Celtic potentially lose 3 midfielders and gain none for coming season? Absolute nonsense!

Celtics central midfielders for next season if the above deal goes through - Callum Macgregor, Tom Rogic, Olivier Ntcham, Ryan Christie, Nir Bitton and Scott Brown. Not to mention the plethora of wingers at their disposal. They don’t need McGinn just now, Scott Brown has another season or 2. But getting McGinn is a real coup for Celtics future. A loan back to Hibs continues his progression. Scott Allan, not needed by Celtic.
Yes, the above deal makes sense to all parties involved. I for one would be delighted with it.

Probably be nonsense. But I’d be happy with that. We’d get McGinn for another year. We’d get Scotty Allan. And £1.5M. Bit of a no brainer. I can imagine all parties would be happy too. Just got to find a fulcrum to replace McGeough. Looks like he’s Sunderland bound. Hopefully Bartley will be staying too. I think he has a couple of more years left on his contract.

Could take this but I would want at least £2m.

It might add up to £2Mill, depends what % of McGinns wages we would be paying for the loan. If he's on £10K pw and we are paying £3K theirs another £360K approx. Theirs also the pay off for Scott Allan, he still has a yr on his deal with Celtic and he will want a pay off. I should imagine it will be at least £200K. It all adds up.

What are you guys drinking? Scott Allan would have to take a massive drop in wages to sign for Hibs. Knowing his past do you all really see that happening? As for Celtic buying John? Why wouldn't they wait till new year and sign him on a pre contract. Wee word in Johns ear to sit tight and they have him with no transfer fee. So we lose him for nothing and no Scott Allan in part exchange. Best hope we have of a good transfer fee is he goes now to an English or foreign club.
