Kris Commons is back at Celtic after a loan spell at Hibernian.

Celtic midfielder Kris Commons will remain at the club until the end of the season, according to The Daily Record.

Commons has been on the books of Celtic since 2011 and has a contract with the Scottish Premiership giants until June 2017, according to Transfermarkt.co.uk.

The 33-year-old attacking midfielder moved to Hibernian in the Scottish Championship on an emergency loan deal in December, but he is now back at Celtic Park.

It has been reported that Hibs are interested in signing Commons, but they are likely to be priced out of a loan move.

Scottish Premiership club Aberdeen are also interested, according to the report, but they would not be able to afford the wages of the former Nottingham Forest midfielder which are allegedly £20,000 per week.

Major League Soccer outfit San Jose Earthquakes are also claimed to be interested in Commons, but the Scotsman prefers to stay in Great Britain.

Celtic are at the top of the Scottish Premiership table at the moment with 64 points from 22 matches, 22 points clear of second-placed and Old Firm rivals Rangers.
