Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers is keen to bring John McGinn to Parkhead.

According to a report in the Scottish Sun, Hibernian have rejected Celtic’s third bid for John McGinn.

McGinn is one of Celtic’s top targets this summer, but Brendan Rodgers has been unable to get a deal over the line for the midfielder.

Celtic’s current £2 million bid is still only worth half of what Hibs want for McGinn, meaning they are some way from getting a deal over the line.

However, the Scottish Sun suggest that Celtic could have more success if they offer Hibs Ryan Christie or Scott Allan in the deal.

Hibs are keen on the Celtic duo, and a trade deal may be more acceptable for Neil Lennon’s side.

McGinn is seen as the potential successor to Scott Brown at Parkhead over the years to come.

And whether Celtic will come back in with a fourth bid for the 23-year-old remains to be seen.
