Hibs have been linked with a double swoop on League One club Stranraer for defender Jackson Longridge, 19, and keeper David Mitchell, 24.

According to Stranraer's own manager the club has followed Stranraer all over the country watching the pair in action.

Stranraer boss Stephen Aitkin said:

“We are aware that Hibs have been tracking us across Scotland and it is a massive compliment and we reckon it is David and Jackson they are looking at.

“David has been No 1 since joining from Ayr and has played a lot. Jackson also came in from Ayr and has established himself with very solid performances. We have not heard anything officially from Hibs but they certainly seem keen on us.”
