Hibs face a fight to keep Kris Commons at Easter Road – with clubs in the MLS now keen on the Celtic play-maker.

The 33-year-old has impressed on loan at the club for a month and was a key man for Neil Lennon in their 3-0 win over Championship title rivals Dundee United on Friday night.

Hibees chiefs will attempt to entice Commons back to Leith for a longer spell in the January window but they now have stiff competition - both in football and financial terms.

The Hoops star is currently weighing up his next move with his Celtic contract up in the summer.

English Championship clubs are also monitoring Commons but Mailsport understands two MLS sides have declared a firm interest in taking the midfielder to the USA.

He’s currently earning around £20,000 a week at Celtic but it’s understood that during his short stay at Hibs, the Edinburgh club were only paying a TENTH of that salary.

Commons isn’t part of Brendan Rodgers plans at Celtic but feels he can play at a high level for another two or three years.

After injury problems at the start of the campaign, he’s now fully fit and played four games for Hibs , which included a goal against Falkirk last weekend.
