Glasgow Clubs CHASING HOURIHANE

Celtic and Rangers are interested in signing Barnsley captain Conor Hourihane, according to the Scottish Sun.

Celtic are understood to have kept tabs on the 25-year-old for some time whereas Rangers have just sparked their interest after their stuttering start to the Scottish season.

Taken from Sky Sports transfer center.

So is he any good, never saw him playing.

 

Very good left peg and score's screamers. Seen him on the box for Plymouth and Barnsley and he's stood out..

Still a no from me though..

 

He's Irish..

No sure if he's ever been called up but he's probably close to it..

 

Only under age

 

Rock you like a Hourihane.

 

Sign him up right now. Worth it just for the song.

 

I like how they make it sound there would be any other choice than Celtic for this lad if both were interested

Impressed everytime i have watched him.

 

Out of contract this summer, talk of him going cheap this January. Great goal scoring record for a midfielder, won August POTM in the Championship this season as well. Looks decent in the air, and built pretty well so I'd imagine he's solid down the middle. Also getting called up to the Ireland squad these last few months, big Celtic fan as well. Think he'd be a great addition this January, one we wouldn't have to splash a ton to get either.

 

Sounds decent, 4 goals and 8 assists in 19 games in the Championship this season.

Im interested lets make the deal happen.

 

I think not taking advantage of his contractual situation in January would be a big mistake. This guy looks like a really solid, complete midfielder. He's doing it at a high level of play, knows the club, and would come with a nominal fee. I have no doubts that Brendan's interested in this guy, and I think getting him would be a big boost that our midfield needs.

 

Highly rated Barnsley captain Conor Hourihane has shelved contract talks at Oakwell until the summer.

This will give encouragement to Celtic, Rangers and Aston Villa, who have all been strongly linked with the 25-year-old midfielder.

Hourihane has been a driving force behind Barnsley's surprise run into the top half of the Championship following promotion from League One last season via the play-offs.

The Irishman has scored four goals and provided nine assists this season.

With only six months left on his current deal, he has decided not to consider an extension until the end of the season.

It leaves the south Yorkshire club with a difficult decision of whether to try and cash in on Hourihane in January, or allow him to run his contract down with the possibility he could leave for nothing in the summer.

Aston Villa are believed to have been monitoring the situation closely, while there has also been reported interest from the big Glasgow clubs north of the border.

Hourihane worked under Roy Keane at Sunderland and Ipswich before making his breakthrough at Plymouth Argyle and joining Barnsley in 2014.

He has been capped by the Republic of Ireland at under-21 level and has been named in Martin O'Neill's provisional squad for World Cup qualifiers this season, although he still awaits his first senior cap.
