First Kris Commons, now another two Celtic players could be leaving Parkhead for Hibernian this winter.
Celtic midfielders Liam Henderson and Ryan Christie are also targets for Hibernian manager Neil Lennon, reports the Scottish Sun.
The same publication reported on Thursday evening that the former Bhoys boss is looking to bring Kris Commons to Easter Road on loan – possibly in time for Saturday’s trip to Greenock Morton in the Scottish Championship.

Like Commons, Henderson and Christie have struggled to secure regular game time under new Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers, making 10 appearances between them this season.
Henderson made his Bhoys debut under Lennon in December 2013 and spent last season on loan to Hibs.
Earlier this autumn, the 20-year-old told the Scotsman he would be interested in a return to the Edinburgh side at some stage: “Would I want to play for them again one day? You bet – a hundred per cent,” he said.

Christie, who moved to Celtic from Inverness Caledonian Thistle in September 2015, is the only one of the three not to have played for Lennon before.

Lennon confirmed to the Scottish Sun that enquiries regarding emergency loan deals have been made ahead of this weekend.
The Ulsterman’s summer appointment by Hibs is only likely to have strengthened the Championship side’s relationship with Celtic, from whom they loaned Dylan Mcgeouch, Anthony Stokes and Henderson last season.
