Harry McKirdy's switch to Hibs from Swindon Town is OFF.
The Hibees approached Swindon over the striker's availability on Tuesday, as exclusively revealed by Record Sport . The forward was due to undergo a medical in Edinburgh today ahead of signing on the dotted line at Easter Road as Lee Johnson sought to add more firepower to his squad. He allowed Christian Doidge to join Kilmarnock on loan until the end of the season yesterday in anticipation of McKirdy arriving, but now could be left short in attack.
But now he'll have to look elsewhere after both clubs pulled out of a deal for the 25-year-old, according to our colleagues at Football Scotland. Negotiations between the clubs were expected to go smoothly but dragged on today, with the issue thought to be regarding the fee Hibs would pay the County Ground club in order to bring McKirdy to the Scottish Premiership.
