CELTIC have opened talks with Hibs over a move for last season's Scottish Championship Player of the Year, Scott Allan.

The 23-year-old midfielder has been the subject of three failed bids by Rangers during the summer, but now Celtic have come in with an offer.

Record Sport can confirm that the clubs have opened negotiations for the player, but no fee has yet been agreed.

poll loading What's your view of Celtic's move for Scott Allan? 1000+ VOTES SO FAR It's a good move, he's a quality player and would fit right into Ronny Deila's team It's a great move - it would sicken Rangers It's all talk and funny how this has come out after Celtic's draw with Killie But I thought that John Collins said that Scottish players weren't quick or clever enough? He'll never go there - he's a Rangers man Hibs should stick to their guns and keep him for the season

Hibs have repeatedly stated that they won't sell Allan to their main rivals for promotion in the Championship, despite Allan handing in a transfer request.

English Championship side Rotherham also came in with a bid for the midfielder at the start of the month, but Allan turned down the move stating that he wanted to stay in Scotland.

Hibernian value Allan in the region of £1million but any deal with Celtic could involved Dylan McGeouch moving to Easter Road on a permanent deal.

The Celtic midfielder spent last season on loan at Hibs and Alan Stubbs was hopeful that another deal could be struck.
