Swindon and Hibs have opened transfer talks over Harry McKirdy.
Lee Johnson knows he must add to his squad before Thursday’s transfer deadline and he’s in need of strikers. Kevin Nisbet won't be back in action for a couple of months after a serious injury suffered last season while Christian Doidge ’s future at Easter Road remains unclear.
The Hibees were linked with McKirdy towards the end of last season and were understood to have rekindled their interest during the window. Record Sport understands they’ve now entered talks with Town in a bid to get a deal done. McKirdy was recently handed a three-match ban and a £1500 fine after he was sent off against Salford City earlier this month. He received two bookings in the goalless draw on the opening day of the League Two season, and reacted by storming up the tunnel and into the official’s dressing room, where he threw a bottle of protein shake at the wall, which burst and covered the referee’s and assistants’ clothes.
