Blackpool eye move for Hibs midfielder Dylan McGeouch

Last updated : 06 July 2017 By Steve Forbes

Scottish Cup winning Hibs legend Dylan McGeouch has been linked with a move to Blackpool.

According to the Scottish Sun, the 24-year-old midfielder is on the radar of Blackpool manager Gary Bowyer as he looks to build his squad for the up-coming season.

Former Celtic kid McGeouch has struggled with injury throughout his time at Easter Road, but has become a big fan favourite due to his superb performances in a green and white shirt.

McGeouch could be joined by former Hibs team mate and fellow Scottish Cup legend Fraser Fyvie, who could also be on his way to Bloomfield Road.

Fyvie was said to be on his way to Dundee Utd a couple of weeks ago, with reports that wages and a contract had been agreed, but no announcement materialised.

It now seems Blackpool are out to hijack the deal, and could team the duo up together in their midfield.

McGeouch still has a year left on his deal at Easter Road, and Hibs boss Neil Lennon is a big admirier of the player, going back to their Celtic days, when Lennon persuaded McGeouch, who had left Celtic for the now liquidated Rangers while a youth player, to return to Parkhead, with Rangers being awarded a £100,000 compensation deal.
